Something straight outta the Moms for Liberty playbook:  Foist your narrow values and cribbed worldview on everyone else.

The parents alleged an Eau Claire Area School District gender support plan violates their constitutional rights because it doesn’t require notifications if a student asks about changing their names and pronouns, using different bathrooms or playing on sports teams that match their gender identity. 

The parents, who are represented by the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, or WILL, and America First Legal, argued allowing a child to make those changes without parental consent violates the U.S. Constitution’s Due Process and Free Exercise clauses. 

Last week, the Seventh Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals sided with a lower federal court decision from March 2023, and dismissed the case. The order, written by Magistrate Judge Steven Crocker, states while it’s clear the parents “harbor genuine concerns about possible applications of the School District’s policy” none of the parents, or their children, were affected by the policy.
