Colorado school district sued for secretly transitioning tween girls
July 26, 2025 - The Daily Signal
FORT COLLINS, Co. — “America First Policy Institute and Illumine Legal asked the Supreme Court to hear the case of two families whose daughters were exposed to transgender ideology behind their backs.
In 2021, Erin Lee’s 12-year-old daughter was invited by her art teacher to come to art club after school in the Poudre School District in Fort Collins, Colorado. Little did Lee know, it was a Gay Straight Awareness club where a guest speaker told her daughter if she’s “not 100% comfortable in her female body, she’s transgender.”
The 12-year-old girl, who was new to the middle school, then adopted a transgender identity and was affirmed by the art club. The guest speaker, Kimberly Chambers, director of SPLASH Youth, an LGBTQ group open to kids as young as 5 years old, told students parents aren’t safe and encouraged them to lie to their parents to attend the club.”
“The families argue that the school district’s policies and practices, which discourage teachers from notifying parents about gender identity matters, were directly responsible for the emotional harm their daughters experienced.”
“Erin Lee said she called 40 lawyers to take her case, and they all declined because the art club didn’t use a formal gender transition plan, until she found Bondi at America First Policy Institute.
Now the United States Attorney General, “Bondi served as the chair of the Center for Litigation and co-chair of the Center for Law and Justice at America First Policy Institute. Before that, she served as Florida’s 37th attorney general and on President Donald Trump’s Opioid and Drug Abuse Commission during his first term.”
“On July 23, the case, which AFPI says could reshape the legal boundaries around parental rights in public schools, was added to the Supreme Court docket.
“This appeal gives us hope that there will be justice, not just for our families, but for the countless families across the country who’ve also been affected by secret school transition,” Erin and Jonathan Lee said in a statement to The Daily Signal. “It gives us hope that accountability will be brought to all the schools usurping the inalienable rights of parents.”
