Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative Christian legal advocacy group, filed the suit on behalf of plaintiff Jennifer Vitsaxaki, of Skaneateles, in U.S. District Court, Northern District of New York, on Wednesday. It accuses district staff of using a boy's name and the pronouns "they" and "them" to refer to the student, then 12, who is described in the suit as Vitsaxaki's daughter.

The suit goes on to accuse the Skaneateles Middle School guidance counselor, Christopher Viggiano, and psychologist, Vicky Powers, of instructing staff to use those terms in secret from聽Vitsaxaki. Staff continued to use the student's given name and female pronouns when communicating with the parent, the suit says, which happened regularly because the student was struggling with anxiety and depression. Meanwhile, the district was allegedly directing the student toward resources for making a medical transition, like local clinics, as well as sources of LGBTQIA support.

Vitsaxaki learned that school district staff were using a male name for her child about three months after they had begun doing so, the suit continues. In May 2021, the parent was told by Skaneateles Middle School Principal Michael Caraccio about the student's "gender support plan," which said that family was not considered supportive of the transition and the student was not ready to tell them.

The student then switched to online schooling, and was enrolled in private school in Syracuse the next year. The student's "demeanor and physical health" noticeably improved, the suit says. The cost of the school's tuition, and travel there, are among the damages聽Vitsaxaki seeks from Skaneateles as a result of violating her Greek orthodox religious beliefs and parental rights, the suit continues.

The suit says Skaneateles staff told聽Vitsaxaki聽they were following district policy. The obligation of educators to inform parents that a student prefers a different name, or is otherwise experiencing gender dysphoria, is at issue in聽. Many were brought by Alliance Defending Freedom, which is as an anti-LGBTQIA hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

The school district's superintendent, Eric Knuth, told 新加坡多多开奖记录 on Monday that "we are not at liberty to discuss individual students or legal matters with the press."聽

However, Knuth noted that as a public school district, Skaneateles adheres to the New York State Education Department's guidance on "Creating a Safe, Supportive, and Affirming School Environment for Transgender and Gender Expansive Students," issued in 2015 and updated in 2023,聽as well as the New York State Human Rights Law of 2021. The department's guidance states, "only the student knows whether it is safe to share their identity with caregivers, and schools should be mindful that some TGE students do not want or cannot have their parents/guardians know about their transgender status."

"We respect diversity in all of our students and our primary concern is to ensure that every child feels safe and supported at school," he said.
