An Ohio county court judge will consider whether to remove three members from the Bethel School Board in Tipp City, Ohio, for continuing to allow a boy to use the girls’ restroom at his school as he transgenders.

A vocal group of parents spearheading the effort to remove school board members Danny Elam, Lori Sebastian, and its president, Lydda Mansfield, filed a civil complaint with the Miami County Court of Common Pleas on May 26, citing malfeasance, misconduct, abuse of power, and other issues.
