Excerpts from article:
...MADISON, Wis. - A group of parents filed a lawsuit Tuesday alleging that the Madison school district's transgender policy is unconstitutional because it prohibits teachers and staff from informing parents that their children want to switch sexes.
...Even though the district requires parental consent before students can change their name and gender in official district records, the policy allows students to pick new names and pronouns they can use at school regardless of whether they have a parent's permission.
...The parents argue the policy violates the state constitution's due process clause, which protects parents' right to raise their children according to the parents beliefs.
...The form states that any interviews with the student are confidential in defiance of a state law that gives parents access to all education records, according to the lawsuit.
...The lawsuit contends that keeping parents in the dark about their children's sexuality interferes with parents' right to guide their children through life-altering decisions and provide professional help their children may urgently need.
