WAUKESHA, Wisc. (CITC) — A Wisconsin school district can no longer allow transgender students to use alternate names and pronouns without permission from their parents.
The Waukesha County Circuit Court ruled Tuesday that the Kettle Moraine School District has been acting in violation of parents' constitutional rights. In 2021, two parents sued the school district over its policy, claiming that school leaders affirmed their daughter's gender transition against their wishes.
The student "began to question her gender" in December 2020 and requested to use a male name and pronouns, according to the lawsuit. The student's parents claim they chose to seek professional support for their daughter, who ultimately decided against transitioning, but the Kettle Moraine School District "refused to respect their decision."
