The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge brought by Florida parents (the Littlejohn family) after their daughter was reportedly \u201csocially transitioned\u201d at school without the parents\u2019 knowledge. In a decision released Monday,the Court denied review of **Littlejohn v.School Board of Leon County**,leaving in place a prior ruling by the U.S. court of Appeals for the 11th circuit. <\/p>\n

The article says the school created a \u201cgender support plan\u201d that included using the student\u2019s chosen name and \u201cthay\/them\u201d pronouns at school while using the parents\u2019 preferred terminology in communications with them. The mother, January Littlejohn, claims school staff secretly worked<\/a> with their daughter and that other parents faced similar situations. <\/p>\n

It also notes that the 11th Circuit majority held the school\u2019s actions did not rise to a constitutional violation, reasoning that even if the parents believed the efforts were misguided, the officials\u2019 conduct did not \u201cshock the conscience.\u201d <\/p>\n
