Michigan court revives parents' religious liberty suit over school gender policy
If this is your mountain
- Search for the court docket or opinion by name of the Michigan district once identified to confirm details beyond ADF's summary.
- If you have a child in a Michigan district with a gender transition policy, request a copy of the current written policy from the school board.
- Ask your local school board at its next public meeting whether the district has a religious or parental-notification exemption process.
- Consult your denomination's or diocese's legal counsel if you are considering a similar challenge, rather than acting unilaterally.
The answers are for members
