The parents' rights organization Parents Defending Education sued an Iowa public school district on Tuesday for its usage of its "Gender Support Plan" for students, without parental knowledge or consent. BREAKING: Parents Defending Education sues Iowa school district over gender transition policies https://t.co/NQL6EcJM7F — Parents Defending Education (@DefendingEd) August 3, 2022The Gender Support Plan allows the school to assist students as young as 12 in a gender transition. Written records regarding a student’s gender identity or transition will be held in a "temporary file," accessible only to those approved by the child. If other students intentionally "disrespect a student’s gender identity," they may face consequences up to expulsion. Parents Defending Education's lawsuit cites a "growing movement" across the country to remove parents from the decision-making process pertaining to their children's gender identity or transition.
