A group of 21 Republican-led states are taking legal action on behalf of Florida parents who sued their daughter's school after teachers launched a 'transgender support plan' for their 13-year-old without asking for their parental consent.
January Littlejohn said her then 13-year-old daughter had a group of friends who were 'obsessed' with anything to do with the LGBTQ community, and when three of them began identifying as trans or non-binary her daughter said she was confused about her own gender.
Despite bringing their daughter to a counselor help her work through her confusion, the Littlejohns learned that school bosses had spoken to the youngster about changing her name and which bathroom she wanted to use - without their permission.
As a result, Littlejohn and her husband sued the school for violating their parental rights at the end of 2021, and now other state leaders are getting involved.
Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen, who is leading the 21-state brief in support of the Littlejohns with Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, told DailyMail.com that it is 'unconscionable' that school districts are 'deliberately' shutting parents out of decisions.
'Parents have a fundamental and longstanding constitutional right to direct the upbringing and care of their children,' he said.
'Unfortunately, it's happening in schools across the country. It's past time for the courts to do their job and step in to protect children and put a stop to woke school administrators violating parents' rights,' Knudsen continued.
The state leaders filed the brief Tuesday in the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals.
The states who signed on in addition to Montana and Florida include: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and West Virginia.

These teachers should be rotting in prison.
Lawsuits are about the only thing that will work on these hard-wired groomers.
the mental health doctors have caused this mess... acquiescing to the delusion is causing harm to children. there needs to be child protection enforcement laws stat.
“These teachers should be rotting in prison.”
Nope, they should be rotting in a shallow, unmarked grave in the woods after being beaten to death by parents.
Those people raped that little girl’s mind.
“her daughter said she was confused about her own gender.”
That’s why they are going after the kids. Easy to confuse.
Anyone else remember when child abuse was against the law?
And not just sue - criminal charges for child endangerment should also be filed.
