Michigan Parents Sue School District Over Unauthorized Gender Pronoun Change for Daughter

The parents allege the district violated their constitutional rights by using male pronouns and a different name for their daughter without their knowledge or consent.

  • Michigan parents, Dan and Jennifer Mead, have filed a lawsuit against the Rockford Public School District for using male pronouns and a different name for their autistic teen daughter without their consent.
  • The Meads claim that the school district's actions violated their First and Fourteenth Amendment rights.
  • The school district allegedly began using a male name and pronouns for their daughter in May 2022, without notifying the parents or seeking their consent.
  • The Meads discovered the change when they received a report from the school's neuropsychologist that included a masculine name referring to their daughter.
  • The parents are seeking nominal damages, compensatory damages, and other damages, along with reasonable attorneys' fees, and court costs.
