School Board Sued for Undermining Parental Rights
August 30, 2023 | Virginia
A grandmother is suing a Virginia school district and a public defender for allegedly hiding her 14-year-old granddaughter’s gender transition from her and advocating for the teen to be put in a group home, actions she claims resulted in the child falling into the hands of sex traffickers on two occasions.
Michele Blair is the grandmother of a teenager identified in court documents as “Sage,” a female teenager who previously identified as a male but has since transitioned back to identifying as a female.
As CP reported in January, the case inspired Virginia Delegate Dave LaRock, a Republican, to introduce “Sage’s Law,” also called the Child Protection Act, which would require school staff or administrators to inform at least one parent if their child identifies as trans.
According to The Federalist, Sage no longer proclaims to be a boy, and she wants the system to do a better job protecting kids like her who suffer from gender dysphoria. (Excerpt from The Christian Post.)
