Group prepares lawsuit against Illinois school district over gender policies

(The Center Square) – Liberty Justice Center is preparing a federal lawsuit against Community High School District 128, arguing its gender support guidelines and overnight student room-assignment procedures violate parental rights, religious freedom and protections for female students. The organization’s plans follow an Oct. 21 response from the district’s attorneys rejecting its allegations and maintaining that the policies comply with federal and state law. Kathryn Cosgrove, an attorney with Liberty Justice Center, told The Center Square the organization had hoped its initial demand letter would prompt district officials to change the policies without litigation. “We received their letter on Oct. 21, stating that they think that their policies are in compliance with the law, which is simply not true,” Cosgrove said. The dispute centers on the district’s Gender Support Guidelines and Procedures for Assigning Rooms for Overnight Student Trips. Liberty Justice Center argues the policies fail to adequately protect parents’ rights to information about their children’s education and school experiences. Cosgrove said the organization learned about the policies through a mother who provided copies of the documents and connected the organization with concerned families. She declined to disclose specific details about potential plaintiffs while the organization prepares its case. One

Carl Sandburg student named top Illinois community college scholar

Kaden Pickard once doubted college was the right path after earning a grade point average below 2.0, but the Carl Sandburg College student is now being recognized as the top community college student in Illinois. Pickard, 23, of Galesburg has been named the Illinois community college Student Laureate by lincolnacademyillinois.org , according to a community announcement. The distinction recognizes one graduating student to represent Illinois' entire community college system in addition to student laureates selected from the state's four-year colleges and universities. “There are 45 community colleges in Illinois and 600,000 students enrolled in those colleges,” Pickard said. “Those are 600,000 other students who could have been nominated, could have won the award, and it's me. It's surreal.” Pickard was honored at an award program Oct. 24 at the Old State Capitol in Springfield. The recognition includes the Abraham Lincoln Civic Engagement Award, a Lincoln medallion, a challenge coin and a $1,000 check. He is the second Sandburg student to earn Student Laureate honors. Zana Danner received the recognition in 2018. From struggling student to award winner Pickard enrolled at Sandburg after graduating from Galesburg High School in 2021 and entered the college's basic industrial manufacturing maintenance program.
