The Departments of Justice and Education announced a lawsuit against the Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools (KCKPS) to halt the district from facilitating secret “gender transitions“ for students without their parents’ knowledge or consent. The lawsuit alleges violations of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA), which safeguard parental rights.
“Parental rights are paramount in the operation of America’s public schools, and Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools does not know children better than their own parents,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “The Department will not tolerate school districts playing fast and loose with federal law in the service of radical gender ideology.”
“For decades, schools operated with little accountability as federal parental rights laws like FERPA and PPRA went unenforced, allowing some districts to cut parents out of deeply personal matters involving their own children,” said Education Secretary Linda McMahon.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Assistant Attorney General Dhillon as she seeks to uphold federal laws protecting parents’ rights and children’s privacy.
- For Secretary McMahon as she manages the efforts of the Education Department to safeguard children’s and parents’ rights.
- For American parents to look to the Lord for direction as they address gender dysphoria in their children.
