Lawyer: HS Used 'Math Help' Cover to Push Girl's Transition, Family Lost Custody
According to Blaze Media, an attorney representing a Catholic family alleges that a high school covertly facilitated their daughter's gender transition under the pretense of tutoring sessions, and that state authorities subsequently removed the girl from her parents' custody. The outlet reports the family's account through their legal counsel; further details of the case are still emerging.

Why Bible-Believing Christians Should Care
If accurate, this case illustrates a pattern this publication has tracked: institutions using routine-sounding programs to bypass parental authority on matters of a child's sexual identity, then state power stepping in against parents who object. Scripture places the primary duty of raising children under the Lord's instruction on parents, not schools or the state. Christians should watch closely how 'support' programs are used to reshape a child's identity outside parental knowledge, and how family courts weigh a parent's biblical convictions against gender-affirming policy. This is not simply a custody dispute — it is a jurisdictional conflict over who has the God-given authority to guide a child.
And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. — Ephesians 6:4

From the book
The most potent weapon against parents is Rule 3. Educators reframe moral and cultural questions as technical or medical ones. A dispute over explicit material becomes a matter of library science. A dispute over gender identity becomes a matter of mental health best practice. The activist tells the parent he is not an educator, using the appeal to authority to sever the parent's confidence in his own judgment.
— Chapter 19, “Capture in K-12”
