Wailes v. Jefferson County Public Schools

Summary

Jefferson County Public Schools in Colorado is violating parents’ fundamental right to make decisions about the upbringing and education of their children. A school district policy directs that students should be “assigned to share overnight accommodations with other students that share the student’s gender identity” rather than rooming by sex, and the district refuses to give parents truthful, pertinent information about their children’s overnight accommodations, thus hampering parents’ ability to make informed decisions about their children’s education and privacy.
