A mother in Florida is filing a lawsuit after her child reportedly transitioned at school without her knowledge.
QUICK FACTS:
- January Littlejohn, a mother of a transgender child in Tallahassee, Florida, is suing after the school allowed her child to transition without her consent, and she’s warning parents this is occurring nationwide.
- “This is happening all over the nation,” Littlejohn said. “This same protocol is in place in many, many schools across districts everywhere, and even the guides being used to dictate these transgender support plans that cut parents out even have the same language.”
PARENT WHOSE CHILD TRANSITIONED AT SCHOOL WITHOUT HER KNOWLEDGE:
“…this is a very systematic way that parents are being excluded from important decisions occuring with their children,” January Littlejohn told Fox News. “And further, social transition is a medical intervention that schools are grossly unqualified to be taking these steps without parental involvement.”
BACKGROUND:
- Littlejohn claimed her then 13-year-old daughter was “obsessed” with anything to do with the LGBTQ community and expressed confusion over her gender during the pandemic.
- She later discovered the school was working on a “transgender support plan” and declined Littlejohn’s consent to be involved, saying her daughter was “protected by a nondiscrimination law.”
- “Eventually we did see the transgender support plan, which was a six-page document that they completed with my daughter, that was 13 at the time behind closed doors,” Littlejohn explained. “Where they asked her questions that would have absolutely impacted her safety, such as which restroom she preferred to use and which sex she preferred to room with on overnight field trips.”
