Parents Stephen Foote and Marissa Silvestri have petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to hear their case against the Ludlow School Committee in Massachusetts. The parents allege that the public school system socially transitioned their 11-year-old daughter, identified as "B.F.", to a genderqueer identity without their knowledge or consent. The school reportedly facilitated the transition by involving a gender-transitioning nonprofit organization behind the parents' backs. The case has drawn attention from advocacy groups such as the American Frontline Doctors (AFLDS), which filed an amici curiae brief supporting the parents' position that schools do not have the right to transition children without parental consent, describing such actions as child abuse disguised as education. The Supreme Court has been formally asked to consider the dispute, highlighting ongoing legal and social debates over parental rights and school authority in gender identity matters involving minors.
