PROTECTING PARENTAL RIGHTS VIA LITIGATION :
America First Parents is dedicated to defending parental rights. In a recent case in Colorado, a family alleged that their rights were violated by school officials who:
- Solicited their 12-year-old daughters to attend after-school “Genders and Sexualities” lectures;
- Convinced the young girls that they were transgender;
- Encouraged the children to hide their attendance and gender status from their parents; and
- Willfully concealed the content of the lectures from parental notice.
With the assistance of AFPI’s Center for Litigation, a lawsuit was promptly filed to address these grievances.
