I just hope SCOTUS just decides to not even hear the case.

Hell yes. Can't depend on the courts, but it's nice when they get a few right.

Gee, I wonder why their child didn't want them to know. 🤔 🙃

2. Federal judges in the Eleventh Circuit have found that Leon County Schools did not violate the parental rights of Jeffrey and January Littlejohn, the parents of a Florida student, when school staff met with the thirteen-year-old about using a preferred name and pronouns.

3. The court ruled that allowing a trans kid to socially transition in school does not harm the child, and does not shock the conscience, nor do parents have the right to know if their kids are trans.

4. Judge Kevin Newsom, a Trump appointee, wrote in his concurring opinion that while he disagreed with the school’s parental notification policy on moral grounds, such rulings are not based on “whether the defendants’ conduct was shameful, but rather whether it was unconstitutional.”

It was not.

5. Dozens of bills across the country have sought to legally mandate forced outing in schools. Countless more districts have tried to do so at the local level.

6. Many Americans may be familiar with the Littlejohn’s case after President Donald Trump recounted a bastardized version of the story in his March 4 speech to a joint session of Congress.

7. The Littlejohns were represented by the Child and Parental Rights Campaign, a conservative public interest law firm. The Littlejohns’ story has been heavily cited by Governor Ron DeSantis as an anecdote supporting the enactment of the state’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill.

Anyone else notice it's always the "🤬 your feelings" crowd that feels the need to complain loudly when something hurts their poor little feelings???

i hate him for thinking that a kid having agency over their life is shameful, but i appreciate that he has, like, an ounce of principle.

coltranethedog.bsky.social•3 days ago

He was close - the shameful conduct was that of the parents.

The most unamerican among us deciding who has rights.

I'm so glad to see this news! The one thing keeping me sane during this presidency is that the courts have continued to make one ruling after another that makes sense and defends our constitutional rights!

Yes!!

I still don’t understand how it didn’t get thrown out on grounds of “you informed them of your child’s gender dysphoria and asked them to speak with and accommodate the child, you clout-chasing asshole”.
