A Wisconsin judge has ordered the second-largest school district in the state to halt controversial guidelines encouraging schools to conceal students’ transgender behavior and related medical records from their parents.

A group of 14 parents, represented by conservative legal groups Alliance Defending Freedom and Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, sued Madison School District in February over its guidance regarding transgender students. The parents said in the lawsuit that the district has violated their rights by not telling them, among a number of other things, if their children have adopted a different name at school.
