Eight parents filed the lawsuit against Hilliard City Schools, a Columbus-area school district.
, the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court is asking that teachers in Hilliard City Schools be prohibited from having discussions on “sexual matters” with students and also that teachers not be allowed to wear badges showing support for LGBTQ students.
The parents claim in the lawsuit that “activist teachers” are talking to students as young as 6 years old about sexual orientation and gender identity and that they’re doing it without parental consent,. WBNS Channel 10 says parents filing the lawsuit also cite a survey given to students about what pronouns they prefer.
“It can be really difficult for a young person to come out for the very time and they’re going to have that conversation with the person that they trust,” Erickson tells WCMH. “Oftentimes, it is a parent or a caregiver, and we would love for that to happen, and sometimes it’s not. Sometimes it’s a friend at school, a teacher at school, a counselor.”
“Unfortunately, extremists working to amplify the playbooks of a national network of political radicals are once again trying to manufacture controversy and weaponize LGBTQ+ issues to distract Ohioans from the very real issues facing our schools,” the statement in September said.
