A California mother who said her daughter was 'socially transitioned' into a trans boy by her middle school has won a landmark legal victory against the district - who settled the suit for $100,000.
Jessica Konen's daughter Alicia, 11, was allegedly told by Buena Vista Middle School in Spreckels that she was upset because she didn't know who she 'truly was inside.'
The school allowed the child to use the boy's bathroom and male pronouns in class without her mom's consent.
Single mom Konen accused teachers of encouraging her daughter to think she was a trans boy when she was at the school in 2019 – only for the child to return to her female persona while learning remotely during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Despite not admitting fault, the Spreckels Union School District's settlement marks an important moment in the debate across the US about how parental rights fit in with children's decisions in school settings.
Konen launched the legal claim against the school and two seventh-grade teachers in 2021 – claiming they kept her daughter’s phony trans identity secret from her and hid that she had been having suicidal thoughts.
The child is now attending high school in another district - and has re-identified as a girl.
In her court papers, Koren says her daughter, identified by her initials, A.G., found distance learning difficult 'but there was a silver lining — because A.G. was at home throughout the school day, she was no longer in the clutches of Ms Caldiera (sic) and Ms Baraki. Freed from their influence A.G. began to return to her old self.'
Once Konen found out that her daughter was being identified as a male and socially transitioning without her knowledge, she sued the district.

Ah, the lawsuits have begun! I hope our nations’ trans-groomers have their asses handed to them.
Conservatives win lawsuits which will buy everyone a Happy Meal.
So do I.
BTTT
It’s a beginning.
Plus, this story will be getting a lot of attention, because there are thousands of schools engaging in this same sneaky, damaging and dishonest behavior right now.
Such teachers know who they are.
I’d prefer they get millstones and rope, but that is probably unrealistic.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
The outcome of this one is a pleasant surprise.
I'm surprised they didn't go after mom instead.
There needs to be a few more 000’s in that number.
California DOJ is suing the one CA school district that doesn’t conceal “tranny bs” from the parents.
The school won’t blink twice w/a 100k hit.
Need to be slapped w/at least 1% of their annual budget.
>There needs to be a few more 000’s in that number.<
Why? The taxpayers are the ones paying, either directly or through an insurance policy.
Ms Caldiera and Ms Baraki won’t receive any punishment. The teachers union has their back.
EC
...may their “rewards” be enough to make them discard their delusions forever. Hopefully more of these lawsuits to bankrupt the public schools.
Shoulda been $100 million and those stupid teachers imprisoned for child endangerment and abuse.
