Maryland parents don’t have standing to challenge a school district’s transgender policy if their children aren’t transgender, an appeals court ruled on Aug. 14.
“The parents have not alleged that their children have gender support plans, are transgender or are even struggling with issues of gender identity. As a result, they have not alleged facts that the Montgomery County public schools have any information about their children that is currently being withheld or that there is a substantial risk information will be withheld in the future,” U.S. Circuit Judge Marvin Quattlebaum wrote for the majority.
