Back in January, I wrote, “The Manchester School District Is Slowly Taking Away Your Rights as a Parent!” That has turned into a lawsuit. Mom is holding the District accountable for lying to her (*by deliberate omission).
The lawsuit is here:
Manchester Policy JBAB 2022-03-03 – Complaint w Exhibit signedOnce again, the results are bubbling up all over the nation where School Districts decided that THEY are the Parents, THEY know what is best for minor children better than their parents and force them in the School Districts “Morality” and Sexual mores – and deliberately hide it from the Parents. And made it, just not a one-off, but a codified Policy. So, now we have a legal trifecta here in little ole’ NH over the New Hampshire School Board Association’s Policy JBAB (Transgender and Non-Conforming Students)?
Sidebar – so given that this Policy JBAB sprang from them, and I’m assuming that their legal team vetted it, when do the lawsuits go over the root cause – them???
We already had parts 1 and 2 of the worst of JBAB now in the legal system. My lawsuit over coercing Government speech of others: “a transgender student has the Right to be called their preferred pronouns and name” which mandates TWO beliefs:
-
- The School District has the Power (Governments have Powers, Individuals have Rights) to crush and dismiss the Right to Free Speech of students and staff and mandating that students and staff WILL accept and believe that there are MANY sexes and that their Right to Religious Expression in believing that God only made two sexes is wrong and will be punished.
- That School Districts can give themselves the Power to demand their staff lie to Parents about the transgender status of their child. That THEY have the Power to deliberately separate Parents from their children on such an important issue (with the nuance that ALL Parents are just plain guilty of being willing to do “harm” to the child by the School’s Morality).
Mine is preemptive knowing that NO School District can overthrow Constitutional Rights of Free Speech and that Parents (as upheld by SCOTUS) have the complete Right to be responsible to raise their children and School District, in our Dillon’s Rule State, are NOT allowed to be Judge, Jury, and Executioners.
Then there is the Exeter SAU16 Lawsuit in which a freshman football player was punished for simply refusing to give up his Christian beliefs that God made us male and female OFF CAMPUS. And the School Administration punished him anyway. Transgender beats Religious Faith – at least in Schools.
And now, that Manchester School District I mentioned at the top has now been unleashed (reformatted, emphasis mine):
Manchester mom sues school district over transgender student policy
A Manchester mother is suing the city school district over a policy that prevents school officials from informing parents about their child’s “transgender status” at school without the student’s permission. “We think that’s outrageous,” said Concord-based attorney Richard Lehmann, who is representing the mother in the lawsuit filed Thursday in Hillsborough Superior Court North in Manchester.
The policy was adopted in January 2021 on a 10-2-2 vote “to create a safe learning environment for all students and to ensure that every student has equal access to all school programs and activities.”Critics say the policy keeps parents out of the loop.
On the face of it, it’s completely bonkers! Since when does a minor child have the Right to tell a School District that Mom and Dad don’t count. ESPECIALLY when school counselors and teachers (as we have seen all over the country – see Buena Vista as just one example) are the ones doing “the turning”? They don’t. But they are. Again, my previous post has Policy JBAB listed with my emphasis.
The UL piece outlines the really disturbing part:
According to the filing, “minutes later” Jane Doe received an email from the school principal saying, “while I respect and understand your concern, we are held by the district policy as a staff,” which “outlines the fact that we cannot disclose a student’s choice to parents if asked not to.”
Here’s a question – who told this minor child of that? And WHY did they say that? And what NH State Law, again I have to repeat myself, gives the School District this Power to cut Parents out of the loop?
Since receiving the email, the lawsuit says Jane Doe discussed gender expression issues, birth-name usage and pronouns with M.C.
“M.C. has advised Jane Doe that M.C. requested school personnel to use M.C.’s birth name and Pronouns,” the lawsuit states. “School personnel likewise have represented to Jane Doe that they are addressing M.C. by M.C.’s birth name and pronouns.
And the really EVIL part:
“However, the continued existence of the policy means that Jane Doe cannot know whether representations by district personnel are factually true, or whether the district personnel are simply following the policy by misleading and/or lying to Jane Doe about M.C.’s in-school gender expression and the district’s response thereto,” the lawsuit states.
So if this was happening to MY child (the Grandson that TMEW and I officially adopted) – we’d never know.
A Parent has the Right (based on previous SCOTUS decisions) to raise their child – not a School District. Mine is preemptive – covering the taking away Free Speech, Religious Freedom, and Responsibility to Raise. The Exeter SAU16 lawsuit is actual harm to a student. Now, this Manchester lawsuit is actual harm to a Parent.
The piece talks about “Discrimination” in trying to justify Districts enacting Policy JBAB. Those Laws NEVER gave Districts the Powers assumed in JBAB – it was spun up out of whole cloth, IMHO, in furtherance of the militant Transgender agenda. And in part, that is to aid in the destruction of the nuclear family.
And the takeaway?
School Districts are already declaring Parents, potential or actual, are guilty of Discrimination against their own children. Judge, Jury, and Executioners.
So, as with my Lawsuit, it comes down to this as I have had to say on too many occasions:
Which Laws did the NH State Legislature, in our Dillon’s Rule State, create to give District these Powers?
They refuse to answer that simple question – and then act like WE PARENTS THE BIGOTS. Again, I point out, these three Districts can’t even bring themselves to be sufficiently honest in saying: Oops, we went too far. We’re sorry, and we will drop those parts (or the whole Policy). They seem to truly believe that they are above the Law and can do whatever they want.
How many other Districts, having adopted this policy in part or in whole from the NHSBA, are being dishonest towards their Parents as well?
The sad thing is that this seems to be a national pandemic of such outlooks and actions. They truly have gone to war against Parents.
