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
