‘How to resolve whether the teacher’s beliefs or the parents’ beliefs are correct would be beyond the ability of most first-graders’
A federal judge has delivered a stunning blow to a teacher’s agenda to teach very young students that they could be transgender.
The lessons were delivered by a first-grade teacher, Megan Williams, in the Mt. Lebanon School District in Pennsylvania.
Without notifying parents she pushed the kids into a non-curricular lesson about transgenderism, and shockingly informed them that their parents guessed about their being male or female when they were born – and their parents could have been wrong.

The court decided for the three mothers who brought the case, Carmilla Tatel, Stacy Dunn and Gretchen Melton, and awarded them nominal damages for the constitutional rights violations by the teacher and district.
“A teacher instructing first-graders and reading books to show that their parents’ beliefs about their children’s gender identity may be wrong directly repudiates parental authority,” the court wrote in its opinion. “The heart of parental authority on matters of the greatest importance within their own family is undermined when a teacher tells first-graders their parents may be wrong about whether the student is a boy or a girl.”
The court noted the school refused even to provide parents notification, or opt-out options, for the extremist ideology that the teacher was presenting and in doing so violated the U.S. Constitution.
The judge found, “In elementary school, it is constitutionally impermissible for a school to provide teachers with the unbridled discretion to determine to teach about a noncurricular topic—transgender identity—and not to provide notice and opt out rights based on parents’ moral and religious beliefs about transgender instruction, while providing notice and opt out rights for other sensitive secular and religious topics.”
