Jefferson County Public Schools&#8221; with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit on behalf of four families.<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit alleges that the district, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/us\/us-regions\/west\/colorado\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">located near Denver<\/a>, allows biologically male students to share overnight accommodations with girls based solely on gender identity\u00a0without notifying parents or seeking their consent.<\/p>\n<p>According to the complaint, the district\u2019s policies violate parents\u2019 fundamental right to make decisions about the upbringing and education of their children and places\u00a0students in uncomfortable or potentially unsafe situations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/boys-branded-sexual-harassers-complaints-about-trans-classmate-using-locker-room-go-federal-court\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>BOYS BRANDED SEXUAL HARASSERS FOR COMPLAINTS ABOUT TRANS CLASSMATE USING THEIR LOCKER ROOM GO TO FEDERAL COURT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>During the summer of 2023, Joe and Serena Wailes\u2019s daughter had just finished fifth grade and was reportedly traveling with classmates on a school trip to Philadelphia and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/us\/washington-dc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Washington, D.C.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Wailes said their daughter was assigned to a two-bed hotel room with three other students \u2014 two girls from her school and one from another school in the district, the suit stated.<\/p>\n<p>According to the complaint, as the children prepared for bed on the first night, the daughter learned that her bedmate was biologically male and identifies as a transgender female. The girl reportedly went into the bathroom to call her mother, who was nearby and serving as a chaperon.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/virginia-parents-face-125k-bond-payment-continue-controversial-transgender-locker-room-case\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>VIRGINIA PARENTS FACE $125K BOND PAYMENT TO CONTINUE CONTROVERSIAL TRANSGENDER LOCKER ROOM CASE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The room assignment came despite assurances from district officials that boys and girls would be placed on different hotel floors, the lawsuit said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/us\/education\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jefferson County Public Schools<\/a>\u2019 policy, however, reportedly states that students may be assigned overnight accommodations based on gender identity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit also claims the district does not allow families to opt out or request that their children room only with students of the same biological sex.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/parents-virginia-boys-suspended-after-questioning-transgender-locker-room-policy-were-ignored-school\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>PARENTS: VIRGINIA BOYS SUSPENDED AFTER QUESTIONING TRANSGENDER LOCKER ROOM POLICY WERE IGNORED BY SCHOOL<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The district\u2019s policy of rooming students by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/politics\/executive\/social-policy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gender identity<\/a> rather than sex without prior notice or a sex-separated alternative violates the families\u2019 free exercise, bodily privacy, and parental rights,&#8221; ADF said in a press release on Thursday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit also cites several other instances in which children were placed in similar situations. In another example, the family of an 11-year-old boy attending a school-run camp said they were told his counselor would be male, but later learned the counselor was a biologically female adult who identifies as non-binary and had been assigned to supervise the boys in their cabin and during showers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Parents, not government bureaucrats, have the right and responsibility to direct the upbringing and education of their children, and that includes making informed decisions to protect their children\u2019s privacy,&#8221; ADF Senior Counsel Kate Anderson, director of the ADF Center for Parental Rights, said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This fundamental right is especially vital for all parents who wish to raise their children according to their religious values and protect their children\u2019s bodily privacy.
