The U.S. Supreme Court has been asked to hear a case involving a Massachusetts public school district accused of secretly transitioning an 11-year-old student to identify as genderqueer without parental consent. The parents, Stephen Foote and Marissa Silvestri, allege that the Ludlow School Committee allowed their daughter, identified as "B.F.", to socially transition by using a masculine name, nonbinary pronouns, and boys’ facilities. The school also reportedly facilitated her involvement with a gender-transitioning nonprofit behind the parents’ knowledge. The case has drawn wider attention, with the American Frontline Doctors (AFLDS) filing an amici curiae brief supporting the parents, arguing that schools have no right to transition children without parental consent. Concurrently, the Supreme Court is considering whether to uphold state bans on conversion therapy for minors, with several members of Congress urging the Court to maintain these prohibitions. Lawmakers emphasize that conversion therapy is harmful and that LGBTQI+ identities should not be treated as conditions requiring correction. This case highlights ongoing national debates over parental rights, school authority, and the treatment of gender identity and LGBTQI+ issues in educational settings.
