>When Stephen Foote and Marissa Silvestri learned that their middle-school daughter was experiencing depression and questioning her gender identity, they hired a private counselor to help her. They informed the school district they were getting their daughter the mental health help she needed and instructed school officials to not have any private conversations with their daughter about these matters.
>Attorneys explain in the petition, however, how school officials thought they knew better than the parents. They decided to “socially transition” the girl against her parents’ stated wishes. Officials regularly met with her to assist with and encourage her “transition” to “genderqueer,” with a male name and nonbinary pronouns, and using bathrooms where middle school boys undressed.
>Additionally, in regular online private chats with the daughter, the school counselor promoted her identification as “genderqueer” and her use of a male name and questioned her parents’ choice of a mental-health counselor, all without saying anything to her parents. Indeed, school officials actively concealed their activities by using the girl’s real name and pronouns when communicating with her parents but using her male name and nonbinary pronouns at school.
>After learning what the school district was doing to their daughter, Foote and Silvestri begged district officials for help. But their efforts were futile. The middle-school principal intimated that the school knew what was best for Foote and Silvestri’s children. The district superintendent approved of the staff’s actions as consistent with district policy. And when the parents again pleaded with middle-school staff to stop, they were ignored.
