ARLINGTON, Tenn. - The mother of a Mid-South transgender teen has filed a complaint with the Department of Education’s Civil Rights division against the Arlington School District.
“I’ve seen these posters since I was really small … and then I see it and it’s my dead name,” said Max Wieland, 17, the teen.
A "dead name" is a term used by members of the LGBTQ+ community who elect to go by their chosen names instead of their given names.
Max said the school displayed his dead name on a public display which listed academic honors.
“So, I was walking down from the cafeteria and I saw the posters and I got super excited so I stopped like with my partner looking for our names and everything and then I see it and it’s my dead name,” he adds.
Max has a 4.52 GPA and scored a 33 on the ACT.
The complaint alleges the district discriminated against Max by not stopping instances of harassment against him. It also alleges the school failed to honor Max’s preferred name and would not let him use the restroom of the sex in which he identifies.
Tennessee law states students are to be called by what is on their birth certificates. This goes for all school records, report cards, student testing and school activities.
Tennessee law states school personnel do not have to use a student’s preferred pronouns, nor can they face civil liability for not doing so.
When it comes to restrooms, Tennessee law mandates schools make reasonable accommodations for students like a single occupancy restroom.
Max’s mother said she is working to get her son’s name changed legally but fears it will not be done by graduation. Max is a senior at Arlington High School.

Yes, we frequently hear how these mothers are enablers of their confused troubled children. And the mothers help push these troubled children to be so called transgender.
I seldom have heard of the parents, both parents together, with a transgender child. It’s almost always the mother alone who is so prominent pushing this transgender business.
Mzybe some mothers sincerely think they are helping troubled children, since our culture has pushed all this LGBT activism in recent years.
“We are raising a generation of pussies and we allowed it to happen.”
Back in the day, Max would have tried this story of a young confused lass, only to be met with boys after school who would set him straight, and then when he explained things to his father, his father would have set Max straight.
Oddly, this approach seems to have worked for centuries, until Obama...
Well worded. I started my original post with same idea but could not find much other than four lettered words to express myself.
Why would they? In case you haven’t noticed, we didn’t hold onto it either.
We gave it away. Nothing was taken. It was all voluntarily surrendendered. The War on Drugs. The War on Terror. The Covid 19 scam.
The republic is dead and gone.
Dead name
Translation: Dean brain into masochism
This kid needs a dose of reality and to clean up his act or he will die very soon
I assume transgender kid is homosexual, cuz he asked his “partner.” He may be a “lesbian,” which means he is attracted to females.
