The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, along with the U.S. Attorney for the District of Kansas, filed a lawsuit on Tuesday against Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools (KCKPS) to “stop the district from facilitating secret ‘gender transitions’ for children at school without their parents’ knowledge or consent.”
The DOJ argues that KCKPS is violating several federal laws that safeguard parental rights, including the right to access information about their children collected and maintained in public schools.
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon stated the following: “Parental rights are paramount in the operation of America’s public schools, and Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools does not know children better than their own parents. The Department will not tolerate school districts playing fast and loose with federal law in the service of radical gender ideology.”
