A New Jersey father has filed a federal lawsuit to block a state policy that prevents schools from outing transgender students to their parents
A New Jersey father filed a federal lawsuit to block a state policy aimed at keeping schools from outing transgender students to their parents. Frederick Short Jr., whose three children attend Cherry Hill High School, filed the suit Oct. 12 in U.S. District court. He argues that the policy violates his Constitutional right to raise his children and make decisions about their mental health care. “I would feel pretty bad for a parent if their child lived a double life,” Short told NJ.com.
Cherry Hill school officials have not responded to a request for comment. The suit challenges guidance issued by the Education Department, which does not mandate that school staff notify parents of their child’s gender identification. The lawsuit argues such policies “provide for secrecy and the facilitation of double-lives are psychologically unhealthy for youth.
