Parents have sued a school district in Wisconsin because of its policy on gender transitioning students, according to NBC news.

The Kettle Moraine School District in Waukesha, Wisconsin is facing a lawsuit by parents over a district policy which allows students to change their names and gender pronouns at school without parental consent, according to NBC news. The policy allows for students who are minors to change their pronouns at school.


Parents claim this policy violates their constitutional rights as parents, according to NBC news.


Two sets of parents filed the lawsuit Wednesday and according to The Wisconsin State Journal, some Madison school districts are facing similar litigation.


According to The Wisconsin State Journal, parents at the Madison School District are suing due to a policy in the schools, that allows transitioning transgender students to not have to notify parents of this transition.


In 2020, a Dane County Judge ruled that the Madison School District must provide truthful information to parents about a transitioning student if asked. This decision has been appealed to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, according to The Wisconsin State Journal.
