Dad Sues NJ Department of Education & School District Over Trans Policy
A father is taking legal action against the NJ Department of Education and Cherry Hill School District because he believes the lack of informing him of his child’s request for transgender accommodations is an infringement to his 14th amendment rights. Current guidance for schools does not require them to inform parents of these changes. Frederick Short, the man suing, believes schools should be informing parents of changes such as this, as it is his right to raise his children and make decisions relating to their mental health care. The lawsuit aims to change the current notification system into a requirement to inform parents of changes in their child’s gender status.
