A Florida county school superintendent transferred a 14-year-old girl out of her zoned school after the teen’s mom persevered in criticizing the school’s teachings under the protection of the state’s new parental rights law.

That’s what Richard and Rebecca Yuengling of Land O' Lakes, a suburb of Tampa, allege in a federal lawsuit they filed on Aug. 5 against various officials of the Pasco County school district and Pasco County Sheriff’s Office.
