Virginia mom sues school district claiming staff kept daughter Sage Blair's transition to male a secret before runaway teen was kidnapped, raped and trafficked across state lines

The mother of a teenage girl who was bullied in school and eventually sex-trafficked is suing her daughter's school district for withholding the information that the teenage student was identifying as a male at school.

Michelle Blair, the mother of Sage Blair, filed a lawsuit against the Appomattox County School Board and district staff, in addition to a Baltimore public defender for actions that she allege deprived her of properly parenting her child.

Blair now claims that her daughter was severely bullied in high school, which she was aware of - but alleges that the school district withheld information about why the bullying was happening. Sage had begun identifying as a boy at school.

The bullying, says Blair included 'verbal' and 'physical' assaults, but also included a constant barrage of 'threats of rape by the male classmates.'

'Despite this, the school encouraged her to use the boys' bathroom,' she said.

Blair previously informed the school that her daughter had a history of mental health issues, including depression, eating disorders, self-harm, and hallucinations.

Even with that information, however, the school opted to pursue a social transition for Sage behind the backs of her parents.

The then-14-year-old girl was allowed to change her name to Draco at school. Her parents eventually uncovered details of the situation only when they found a hall pass in Draco's name.

According to the Child & Parent Rights Campaign, who filed the suit on behalf of Blair, the school's decision to withhold information about Sage's gender identity 'deprived' Blair of her ability to 'exercise her fundamental parental rights to direct the upbringing of her daughter, including making educational and mental health decisions.'

“’Despite this, the school encouraged her to use the boys’ bathroom,’ she said.”

Just now, words escape me.

If that were my daughter the last thing these people would be worrying about would be a lawsuit.

All this happened in a county that the Republicans have carried in every election since 1964 and that Trump won by 41 percentage points in 2020. In other words, this is not San Francisco, New York City, or even Northern Virginia. The public school system is irredeemably corrupt. Most likely, the most conservative families either homeschool or send their children to church affiliated private schools. Understandable, but that lessens their interest in schools that most of their neighbors' children attend.

Getting Trump back in the White House would be a good thing, but it is even more important that local and county governments be reformed. In a MAGA area like Appomattox County, only the inattention of local voters leads to these horrible schools.

I just signed a ;petition to require schools in our county and state to tell parents exactly what they are teaching and to report this strange behavior to them.

Of course, some parents are idiots, but they all need to know.

Technically, you can’t really transition from male to female or female to male. Only God has the authority to decide what your sex is, not us mortals.

Yeah, and water is sometimes wet. What makes you think I was saying that “transitioning” is real? I referred to it in the idiots’ own terms in order to not have to write a long paragraph to remove all the possibilities of misinterpretation by people who don’t know a lot about how the language works.
