"America First Legal argues that Montgomery County Public Schools is improperly withholding information from parents regarding their children's gender identity, which they claim violates the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. The organization is seeking an investigation into the district's policies and potential changes to ensure parental notification."
"The complaint emphasizes that the district's guidance allows transgender and gender-nonconforming students to keep their status private, which the group believes misapplies federal privacy laws and undermines parental rights."
America First Legal has filed a complaint with the U.S. Departments of Justice and Education against Montgomery County Public Schools for policies that protect transgender students. The group claims these policies violate federal privacy laws and constitutional rights by allowing students to use affirmed names and pronouns without parental notification. This complaint coincides with a broader effort by the Trump administration to restrict transgender rights in education, conflicting with Maryland's nondiscrimination laws for LGBTQ+ students.
