Parent Sues Over School Gender Policies | Portland News

A Portland mom is suing her school district after it switched to an intersex-inclusive pride flag and introduced gender identity lessons without parental input — moves she says violate her religious beliefs and parental rights. When her child brought home a “gender identity flower” assignment, Roberts raised concerns with school officials, only to be met with dismissiveness. Her attempts to discuss the issue with another parent turned confrontational, leading police to issue a trespass order — which she claims was unjustly applied. Though offered an opt-out for gender lessons, the option wasn’t clearly communicated the next year. Now, Roberts is challenging the district’s harassment policy and lack of transparency, demanding parents be properly informed and have a voice in how sensitive topics are taught — all while fighting to overturn the trespass order.
