Among the cases rejected by the justices was Lee v. Poudre School District R-1, which centers around a lawsuit brought by two sets of parents against the Colorado-based Poudre School District R-1.

According to CBS News, “The families challenged policies implemented by the [school district] which they say urge district employees not to disclose information about a students’ [so-called] gender identity, including to parents.”

“In one instance,” the outlet reported, “the [Lee family’s] daughter … was urged to attend a meeting of the Gender and Sexualities Alliance at her middle school,” during which “a substitute teacher in the school district spoke about gender identity and sexual orientation, and warned students that it may not be safe to tell their parents about the discussion, according to court papers.”

You watch. The next boundaries crusher will be not only more men in girls sports but men in their 20s and 30s competing in high school sports.
