During a field trip, a pro-“trans” Colorado school assigned the 11-year-old daughter of Joe and Serena Wailes to sleep in the same bed as a boy who said he was a girl.
The trip reportedly took place in the cities of Washington D.C. and Philadelphia – 1,500 miles away from the school. Two other girls were assigned to sleep in the room’s other bed. The Waileses are practicing Christians and have since sought representation from the pro-parents’ rights legal group Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF).
“In the summer of 2023, on a cross-country overnight trip, Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) assigned a fifth-grade girl to sleep in the same bed with a fifth-grade boy who identifies as transgender without notifying the girl or her parents,” wrote ADF Senior Counsel Kate Anderson in a letter to the Jefferson County school board and superintendent:
The girl only found out because the boy who identifies as transgender told her on the first night of the trip. It then took the girl and her parents multiple requests to get her moved to another room.And even then, chaperones told the girl to lie about the reason for her move because of the district’s overnight rooming policy—a policy that violates parental rights and student privacy by rooming students based on gender identity while hiding that information from other parents and students.
“Every child should be treated with respect and privacy,” Anderson continued. “But that respect and privacy must extend equally to all students.”
“JCPS’s overnight rooming policy does the opposite,” she pointed out. “JCPS’s policy states that ‘students who are transgender should be assigned to share overnight accommodations with other students that share the student’s gender identity [sic] consistently asserted at school.’”
“However, the policy says nothing about a girl being required to share a bed with a boy who identifies as transgender,” added Anderson. “This policy and practice violates the sincerely held religious beliefs of our clients and their children, the parental rights of them and other parents in your district, and the privacy rights of all students.” --->READ MORE HERE
An 11-year-old Colorado girl called her mother in a panic from a hotel bathroom after discovering that the girl she was expected to share a bed with on a school trip was actually a biological male.
No-one had told the girl, the mother or any other parent at Governor's Ranch Elementary School because the transgender pupil was in 'stealth mode' with their sexual identity protected by school board policy.
Mom Serena Wailes said her daughter had to repeatedly ask for a different room, and was then told to lie about the reason she was going in order to protect her bedmate's privacy.
The family from Littleton are now demanding the school board ensure that parents are told in advance the gender of people their children will be expected to share a bed with.
'Her bedmate informed her that he was a boy who identified as transgender,' Wailes told Fox31.
'She was terrified and really upset about the idea of sharing a bed with a biological boy, even though she had a good relationship with this other student.'
Jefferson County Public Schools (Jeffco) rules insist that 'under no circumstances' shall a transgender student be required to share a room with children 'whose gender identity conflicts with their own'.
But the case has been taken up by attorneys at the Alliance for Defending Freedom (ADF) who want parents given the choice to opt out if room mates are chosen by gender identity rather than biological sex.
'Schools should never hide information from parents, yet that's exactly what JCPS officials did her,' said ADF senior counsel Kate Anderson.
'Every parent should have the information needed to make the best decision for their children.' --->READ MORE HERE
