马里兰州一所学区遭到起诉，原因是家长指控学校官员隐瞒女儿的社交性别转变，随后援引学区政策为自己隐瞒家长的行为辩解。
美国优先法律事务所（AFL）正代表身份为约翰·多伊和简·多伊的匿名家长提起诉讼。原告方认为，安妮阿伦德尔县公立学校的政策侵犯了他们的第一和第十四修正案权利，以及马里兰州宪法中的类似条款。该诉讼于周三向马里兰州地区美国联邦地区法院提起。
这起诉讼是针对允许员工向家长隐瞒学生性别认同信息的学区的越来越多的法律挑战之一。此案发生在美国最高法院就米拉贝利诉邦塔案作出裁决数月后，美国优先法律事务所称该裁决强化了家长在涉及子女的决策中的宪法权利。
美国优先法律事务所高级顾问、原告方律师伊恩·普赖尔表示，该学区无视了这一先例。

“学校系统一直用男性名字称呼我们当事人的女儿，并认定他们的女儿是男性身份，而他们（家长）并未批准此事，也未被告知此事。当他们确实发现此事并质问学校时，他们被彻头彻尾地欺骗了，”普赖尔告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
“他们说这种情况不会再发生了，我们拒绝同意，但学校却说，‘好吧，太糟糕了，这就是法律’。不幸的是，对安妮阿伦德尔县公立学校来说，这并不是法律。”
普赖尔表示，最高法院在米拉贝利案中明确表示“父母享有抚养子女的基本权利”，并辩称学校不能在未通知家长并获得其同意的情况下，协助孩子进行社交性别转变。
根据起诉书，这场纠纷始于2025年12月，当时一名老师误将家长的女儿用男性名字称呼，并在邮件中发送给了家长，随后试图撤回该邮件，后来又声称邮件发送给了错误的收件人。诉讼指控该老师后来承认这一解释是虚假的，并承认该学生曾要求用男性名字称呼。随后家长指示学校官员只能使用女儿的法定姓名，并要求查看与学校行为相关的记录。
起诉书指控学校管理员拒绝了这些请求，援引学区政策并称学校工作人员必须在学校内使用学生偏好的姓名。

数月后，另一名老师在一封关于即将到来的实地考察旅行的邮件中被指控使用了相同的男性名字。当家长就此提出质疑时，诉讼称该老师最初给出了虚假解释，随后才承认该名字指的是他们的女儿。
根据诉讼，该学区的政策要求工作人员使用学生偏好的姓名和代词，并对其性别认同信息保密，无需通知家长或获得其许可。
“不幸的是，此事甚至不得不诉诸诉讼，因为最高法院已经非常明确地规定了学校可以和不可以做什么，但我们在全国范围内看到的是，要让学校遵守宪法和国家法律，你必须将他们告上法庭，获得法院命令，要求他们遵守法律，”普赖尔告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
这起马里兰州案件是美国优先法律事务所提起的一系列挑战学生性别认同相关学校政策的诉讼中的最新一起。
就在几周前的2025年6月22日，美国优先法律事务所向弗吉尼亚州东区美国联邦地区法院提起了另一项联邦诉讼，起诉费尔法克斯县公立学校。该诉讼指控该学区的政策允许学校工作人员在某些情况下不通知家长的情况下为学生进行社交性别转变，包括使用不同的姓名和代词，这侵犯了家长的宪法权利。费尔法克斯的诉讼仍处于早期阶段。

普赖尔表示，美国优先法律事务所还在宾夕法尼亚州和加利福尼亚州的第九巡回上诉法院提起类似的家长权利诉讼。

此次诉讼发生在特朗普政府推动更广泛挑战关于家长通知和性别认同的学校政策之际。今年早些时候，美国教育部得出结论称，加利福尼亚州教育部仍在违反《家庭教育权利和隐私法》（FERPA），发现该州政策迫使学校官员向家长隐瞒学生的性别认同信息。加州已反驳联邦政府的结论，相关法律挑战仍在进行中。
安妮阿伦德尔县公立学校拒绝就此次诉讼置评。

A Maryland school district is being sued after parents accused school officials of hiding their daughter’s social gender transition and then citing district policy to justify keeping them in the dark.
America First Legal (AFL) is leading the lawsuit on behalf of anonymous parents identified as John and Jane Doe. The plaintiffs argue Anne Arundel County Public Schools’ policies violate their First and Fourteenth Amendment rights, as well as similar provisions of the Maryland Constitution. The lawsuit was filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland.
The lawsuit is part of a growing wave of legal challenges targeting school districts with policies allowing staff to withhold information about a student’s gender identity from parents. It also comes months after the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Mirabelli v. Bonta, which America First Legal says reinforced parents’ constitutional rights over decisions involving their children.
Ian Prior, senior advisor at America First Legal and counsel for the plaintiffs, said the district ignored that precedent.

“The school system was referring to our client’s daughter by a male name and assuming a male identity for their daughter, and they didn’t approve that, and they weren’t told of that, and when they did find out about it, and they questioned the school, they were quite frankly lied to about it,” Prior told Fox News Digital.
“They said this is not going to happen anymore, we deny consent, and the school said, ‘Well, too bad, that’s the law.’ Unfortunately, for Anne Arundel County Public Schools, that is not the law.”
Prior said the Supreme Court made clear in Mirabelli that “parents have a fundamental right to raise their children” and argued schools cannot facilitate a child’s social transition without parental notice and consent.
According to the complaint, the dispute began in December 2025 after a teacher accidentally emailed the parents using a male name for their daughter before attempting to recall the message and later claiming it had been sent to the wrong recipient. The lawsuit alleges the teacher later admitted the explanation was false and acknowledged the student had requested to be called by a male name. The parents then instructed school officials to use only their daughter’s legal name and requested records related to the school’s actions.
The complaint alleges school administrators refused those requests, citing the district’s policies and telling the parents that school staff were required to honor the student’s preferred name while at school.

Months later, another teacher allegedly used the same male name in an email about an upcoming field trip. When the parents questioned it, the lawsuit says the teacher initially gave a false explanation before admitting the name referred to their daughter.
According to the lawsuit, the district’s policies require staff to use students’ preferred names and pronouns and keep information about their gender identity confidential, without notifying or getting permission from parents.
“It’s really unfortunate that this even has to result in litigation, because again the Supreme Court has been very clear about what schools can and cannot do, but what we’ve really seen throughout the country is that in order to get schools to adhere to the Constitution and the law of the land, you have to bring them to court and get a court order demanding that they follow the law,” Prior told Fox News Digital.
The Maryland case is the latest in a series of lawsuits AFL has filed challenging school policies governing student gender identity.
Just weeks earlier, on June 22, 2025, America First Legal filed a separate federal lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia against Fairfax County Public Schools. That lawsuit alleges the district’s policy violates parents’ constitutional rights by allowing school staff to socially transition students, including using different names and pronouns at school without notifying parents in certain circumstances. The Fairfax litigation remains in its early stages.

Prior said AFL is also pursuing similar parental-rights cases in Pennsylvania and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in California.

The litigation also comes amid a broader push by the Trump administration to challenge school policies concerning parental notification and gender identity. Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Education concluded that the California Department of Education remains in violation of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), finding that state policies pressure school officials to conceal information about students’ gender identity from parents. California has pushed back against the federal government’s conclusions and related legal challenges remain ongoing.
Anne Arundel County Public Schools declined to comment on the litigation.
