A Wisconsin mom shared her horror after her 13 year-old son was accused of sexual harassment for refusing to refer to a non-binary schoolmate with 'they/them' pronouns.
Rosemary Rabidoux hit out after her son Bradon became one of three eighth grade schoolboys at Kiel Middle School subjected to an ongoing probe.
It was triggered after they chose not to use the gender neutral pronoun for their unidentified classmate, who they instead referred to using 'she' and her'.
Things appear to have escalated quickly with the school district now filing a Title IX complaint against the students, accusing them of sexual harassment for using the 'incorrect' pronouns.
Bradon's mother, Rosemary said that the district had taken things too far by filing such a complaint.
The Kiel School District sees the refusal of students using particular pronouns to address their fellow pupils as a form of bullying.
'The KASD prohibits all forms of bullying and harassment in accordance with all laws, including Title IX' stressing that it will 'continue to support ALL students regardless of sex (including transgender status, change of sex or gender identity)'
'(The investigating principal) said he's being allegedly charged with sexual harassment for not using proper pronouns. I thought it wasn't real! I thought this has got to be a gag, a joke — one has nothing to do with the other,' Rabidoux said to ABC4.
One of the alleged incidents that Braden and two others were involved in occurred last month.
'I immediately went into shock! I'm thinking, sexual harassment? That's rape, that's inappropriate touching, that's incest,' Rabidoux added. 'What has my son done?'

where are the fathers?.....
Tell the accusers to stuff themselves. The law can do nothing about it.
The district has misidentified the bully in this case. It’s the “non-binary” girl, not the boys. And the teachers.
If the school bullying standards of today were applied to when I went to middle school, we all would have been charged with murder. Misgendering they/them? Boo hoo.
People have their own fantasies. The rest of us have NO OBLIGATION to participate in those fantasies.
The school district identified the wrong bully in this one.
fine...If I was those parents I would decide that me and my family be addressed as His/Her Majesty. Or some other silly thing.
Make them be subject to the same silly rules and sue them for not participating
These stories are becoming tantalizingly close to the little boy shouting out, “The emperor is wearing no clothes!”
From a reply at the link...
“The school is very likely acting in a manner that violates their surety bonds. Parents needs to investigate or write a letter to their bond holder/insurer. The bond companies often drop public servants for behavior that is legally questionable. If they can’t be bonded, the consequences for the school are significant. A bond claim gets everyones attention very quickly.”
They can. But good luck going to college with title IX charge following you around.
Imagine the 1980s John Hughes high school movies being redone with gender or sexual identity themes.

This is an approach for combating lunacy that hasn’t been explored sufficiently IMO. Same with municipal insurance for cities that deliberately fail to perform their legal obligations (i.e., maintain order). Of course, larger cities are self-insured and therefore don’t care if they bankrupt themselves.
madness, known as ‘a strong delusion’ in the Bible.
W O W !!!!!
Why “refer” to them at all? I don’t see the issue. When we determined that a fellow student was a fruitcake, we just ignored them completely, no need to worry about what they wanted to be called, that particular day.
13 year olds cannot be “hit with Title IX complaints”
The school need to get slammed with a nice little civil rights lawsuit for violating the kids First Amendment eights.
I was born visible.
I am now trans-parent
My pronouns are who/where
they/them sounds pretty schizophrenic. How many persons are living in that classmate?
I knew they would be arresting people for not following the nazi “pronoun” mandate. All they had to do was redefine the use of pronouns as “sexual harassment.”
So now you can go to jail for speaking English correctly.
I will not use made-up pronouns. Forcing me to do so is fascism.
