Jessica Konen won a $100,000 judgment against the Spreckels Union School District in Monterey County, Calif., after they secretly “socially transitioned” her daughter, permitting her to use the boy’s bathroom and male pronouns without her knowledge or consent.
“If you choose not to fight for your children, then they will fight and take your children,” Jessica Konen said in a statement following the ruling. “Stand up parents, it’s your right to be able to parent your own children.”
Konen’s lawsuit, assisted by the conservative non-profit Center for American Liberty (CAL), argued that after Alicia joined the school’s “Equality Club” in Grade 6, she began learning “LGBT concepts” as well as exploring transgenderism and bisexuality. Shortly afterward, the school actively abetted Alicia’s social transition, “giving her articles on how to conceal her supposed new gender identity from her mother and giving her a ‘Gender Support Plan’ that required school staff to refer to her by a male name,” the organization notes.
