A school board member has filed a lawsuit against Arizona’s largest school district alleging officials have actively encouraged and aided children to “transition” away from their biological sex and kept the information “hidden” from parents at the request of students.
The lawsuit was filed in Maricopa County Superior Court on Nov. 20 by America First Legal (AFL) on behalf of Rachel Walden, who has been a member of the governing board of Mesa Public Schools (MPS) since January 2023.
