A New Jersey father is suing his daughterrCOs school for allegedly helping her rCLtransitionrCY to the opposite gender without his knowledge.

This case is similar to many that have cropped up over recent years after several school districts were exposed for having policies allowing
teachers and school staff to keep parents in the dark about their childrenrCOs gender confusion.

Christin Heaps alleges in his lawsuit that the Delaware Valley Regional
High School Board of Education socially transitioned his daughter. Social transitions involve changing onerCOs pronouns, names, and clothing to
reflect that of the opposite gender.

These actions violated HeapsrCO constitutional rights as a parent, the lawsuit argues.

Oh shit, when will the shithead liberals allowing school employees
to do this, realize how expensive it is going to get?

The lawsuit alleges that school counselor Ashley Miranda began helping HeapsrCO daughter socially transition after attending a meeting of the SAFE club, which is aimed at creating safe spaces for LGBTQ students. The
daughter allegedly stated that she wished to be a boy.

rCLMiranda immediately affirmed JanerCOs expressed identity and began to facilitate JanerCOs social transition,rCY the lawsuit reads, referring to HeapsrCO daughter as rCLJane.rCY The complaint alleges that the counselor did this without consulting JanerCOs medical history or asking whether she was receiving therapy. The father had placed her in therapeutic care after the death of her mother.

However, it didnrCOt stop there. The counselor allegedly informed school staff members that Jane had changed her name and pronouns and instructed
them to keep this from her father. Heaps did not find out about his daughterrCOs issues until another parent referred to her by her new name.

rCLOnly after Mr. Doe inquired of the parent why the parent was calling Jane by a boyrCOs name, the parent explained to Mr. Doe that Jane was being
called by such name at school since she was being socially transitioned,rCY the lawsuit explains.

Jane had been diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
(ADHD) and Unspecified Mental Disorder (UMD). She was receiving therapy
for gender confusion, depression, and anxiety. The lawsuit noted that
rCLsuch social transitioning was causing depression and anxiety in Mr. DoerCOs
daughter and otherwise was interfering with the therapy that pre-existed
the daughterrCOs social transitioning in school.rCY

The lawsuit further noted that the counselor rCLindicated that she was not aware of JanerCOs ADHD and UMD diagnoses or her past trauma when she facilitated JanerCOs social transition.rCY Miranda also stated that she was unaware that Jane was receiving therapy for her other conditions.

The lawsuit argues that the school district and the State of New Jersey violated HeapsrCO rights under the 14th Amendment. The governmentrCOs policy rCLconstitute deliberate interference with Mr. DoerCOs fundamental constitutional right to direct the upbringing of his child.rCY

Heaps is now homeschooling his daughter, who no longer wishes to
transition to the opposite sex. The lawsuit aims to strike down the state policy requiring schools to conceal childrenrCOs issues with gender
dysphoria from parents.

Predictably, the progressive crowd isnrCOt happy about the lawsuit. Aaran Potenza, a policy consultant for LGBTQ rights group Garden State Equality, told the New Jersey Monitor that this development is rCLdeeply troubling.rCY

rCLYourCOre talking about kids who are vulnerable, coming out to a trusted adult about something very personal, telling that trusted adult, rCyI donrCOt feel safe around this issue with my family. IrCOm not ready to come out to
my family,rCOrCY he said.

A lower court ruled against HeapsrCO original lawsuit. But now, he is appealing the ruling with the help of Alliance Defending Freedom.

Progressives adhere to the notion that children belong to the state, not
to their parents. This is why they have no problem using government-run schools to force their ideology on students without the knowledge and
consent of parents. Hopefully, the appeals court will make the right
ruling. Government-run schools have no business trying to usurp the role
of parents to promote far-leftist ideas on sexuality and gender.
