First-graders in Pennsylvania learned about gender transition, and their parents won in court.
School faced criticism for showing "intolerance and disrespect" towards the moral and religious beliefs of parents.
A group of Pennsylvania parents have won a court battle against a public school district, claiming that teaching elementary school children about gender transition and gender dysphoria violated their civil rights.
In Allegheny County, Pa., a Pennsylvania court ruled in favor of three mothers who brought a case against Mt. Lebanon School District.
In the lawsuit, three individuals, Carmilla Tatel, Gretchen Melton, and Stacy Dunn, sued the district, school board, and a first-grade teacher.
The teacher read a book to six- and seven-year-old students that discussed gender transitioning and played a video called "Jacob’s New Dress," which touches on issues like "gender nonconformity."
Megan Williams, the teacher, is accused of telling her students that parents and doctors can make mistakes when they bring a child home from the hospital.
Last week, a senior judge for the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania ruled that the school had violated the parents' constitutional rights by not allowing them to remove their children from certain lessons.
In her opinion, Conti wrote that a teacher directly repudiating parental authority by instructing first-graders and reading books to show that their parents' beliefs about their children's gender identity may be wrong, undermines the authority of parents.
The books read and Williams' instruction to her first-grade students taught that gender is determined by the child, not by God or biological reality, which struck at the heart of Plaintiffs' own families and their relationship with their own young children.
Williams' behavior displayed "intolerance and disrespect" towards the moral and religious beliefs of the parents, and the elementary school infringed upon the fundamental rights of parents to oversee the upbringing of their young children, according to Conti.
The Mt. Lebanon School District and Williams did not respond to Planet Chronicle Digital's request for comment.
