Supreme Court declines parental rights case on school gender policies

The Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal from parents challenging a Florida school policy that allowed their nonbinary child to use different pronouns without parental notification.
This case follows the court's recent rejections of similar parental rights challenges in Massachusetts, Wisconsin, and Maryland, highlighting a national trend.
The 11th Circuit Court upheld the dismissal of the Littlejohns' case, stating that school officials acted to support the child's well-being rather than infringe on parental rights.
