Two furious parents are suing a Michigan public school district for using male pronouns for their eighth-grade autistic daughter without their knowledge.
Dan and Jennifer Mead filed a lawsuit against the Rockford Public School District on Monday after discovering the school had been referring to their child using 'he/him' pronouns last year.
The lawsuit alleges the school violated the parents' First and 14th Amendment rights by using a masculine name and pronouns for their child, as reported by NewsNation.
According to court documents, the school complied with its policy by using the student's chosen name and pronouns.
The Meads withdrew their child from the Rockford Public School District, where the child had been attending since kindergarten, and now homeschool their daughter.
'No one with the school district told them that the school district had begun to treat her as a boy by calling her a masculine name and by male pronouns,' Vincent Wagner, who represents the parents, told WOOD-TV.
The lawsuit, filed Monday by the Alliance Defending Freedom on behalf of the parents, alleges East Rockford Middle School staff referred to their daughter by a male name and pronouns for at least two months.
The parents found out in October 2022 when a school psychologist inadvertently included the child's masculine name in one section of a report that was sent home.
The eight-grader's name had been changed back to the birth name in the rest of the document, according to the lawsuit.
'At first, the Meads thought this was a mistake — that another child's information had been included in their daughter's documents,' said the Alliance Defending Freedom in a statement.
'When the Meads asked district employees to refrain from using the masculine name and male pronouns, the district refused to comply with their wishes,' the lawsuit claims.

Why is it that I am reading an article about the town where I live in a British newspaper? This is the first that I have heard of it.
Our children will be safe from these predators only when they are made to live in fear. Until then, they’ll keep hunting our children down.
I had the same thought, Grand Haven is home for me. Where is local news?
Not the BRIGHTEST parents a kid ever had. Would have been FAR CHEAPER to NOT hand over their girl to those monsters, than have to instead hire a lawyer (and probably also deprogrammers), at this point.
The picture they have of the school looks like the entrance to Auschwitz.
I’m assuming the child is XX : a real girl.
The article doesn’t specify. These days you can’t be sure from a news source.
Because the Grand Rapids Press and the Advance committed suicide.
BUMP! Indoctrination center and propagandists decide what to report and when to report it. We decide, we report.
That’s a good question for your local media to answer.
“Why is it that I am reading an article about the town where I live in a British newspaper?”
The Brits have been doing this sort of thing for years. I’m guessing they have no political ties to our society and are more apt to print the truth. Our own MSM won’t touch a story like this because their political masters don’t want this information out.
“Our children will be safe from these predators only when they are made to live in fear.”
You got that right.
Where in the hell do these fools, these teachers, these dark souls, come from?
The crap will stop only when the groomers are sued and/or go to jail. Google Gabrielle Clark. She won in court.
Your local news is in bed with these scumbags.

My brother teaches high school in Michigan. He has taken to calling kids strictly by their last name. He refuses to play the stupid games and enable the insanity of the students and schools.

We will soon learn the fate of foolish nations.
