ON KAJN TALK TONIGHT…
THERE ARE OVER ONE THOUSAND SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT HAVE POLICIES THAT AFFIRM A STUDENT’S TRANSITION TO A DIFFERENT GENDER IDENTITY WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF PARENTS. ONE OF THOSE IS THE KETTLE MORAINE SCHOOL DISTRICT IN SUBARBUN MILWAUKEE. ON TUESDAY, A JUDGE RULED THAT THAT POLICY VIOLATES THE PARENT’S CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO DETERMINE THE APPROPRIATE MEDICAL AND HEALTHCARE FOR THEIR CHILDREN. LUKE BERG OF THE WISCONSIN INSTITUTE FOR LAW AND LIBERTY CALLED IT A MAJOR WIN FOR PARENTAL RIGHTS. HE SAYS IT’S A WARNING TO MANY DISTRICTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY WITH SIMILAR POLICIES. THE JUDGE RULED THAT A SCHOOL DISTRICT CANNOT SUPPLANT THE RIGHT’S OF PARENTS TO CONTROL THE HEALTH CARE AND MEDICAL CARE DECISIONS FOR THEIR CHILDREN. HE ALSO ISSUED AN INJUNCTION PREVENTING THE DISTRICT FROM ALLOWING OR REQUIRING STAFF FROM USING A STUDENT’S PREFERRED NAME OR PRONOUN IF IT’S OPPOSITE OF THEIR BIOLOGICAL GENDER, UNLESS PARENT’S GIVE CONSENT.
