America First Legal (AFL), the legal firm filing all those lawsuits against corporations for hiring, contracting, training, and promoting based on race, filed a lawsuit last November on behalf of Rachel Walden, a member of the Mesa Public Schools (MPS) government board against the governing board and the superintendent over a policy that allows school officials to hide children’s “transgender” issues from parents.
AFL amended the complaint on Tuesday to add the mother of a girl everyone at a junior high school was calling by a male’s name. An excerpt:
The daughter, named Megan Doe in the suit, had been going by the name “Michael” in school for months when her mother found out by chance. On Halloween, the mother of Megan’s friend asked Jane if she was “Michael’s” mother. Surprised by the question, Jane looked back at some recent school programs and realized that her daughter had been listed as “Michael Doe,” rather than “Megan Doe.”
The school purposely hid the name change from the girl’s parents and won’t release records on this “transition.” The girl’s mother sent her to a therapist, who helped her resolve her “gender identity” mental health/peer pressure problems.
“If MPS employees hadn’t concealed Megan’s gender identity issues from Jane, Megan would have avoided many months of needless suffering and angst.”
The school’s deceptive tactics were organized. According to AFL, the school counselor kept a spreadsheet to track which parents knew about their kids “transition,” and which didn’t.
“The spreadsheet was essentially a ‘parental concealment cheat sheet’ to make sure all school employees knew which parents to deceive and how to do it,” AFL said. Information included new names and preferred pronouns.
AFL attorney James Rogers said the school’s superintendent, Andi Fourlis, “has consistently denied that school district employees are helping to gender-transition students without their parents’ knowledge.”
But that spreadsheet is proof that the school knew everything.
