An Eighth Circuit Court panel of judges unanimously ruled Friday that an Iowa school district’s policy requiring students and staff to “respect” their classmates’ gender identity was “unconstitutionally vague,” according to the court documents.
Parents Defending Education (PDE) filed a lawsuit against Linn Mar Community School District in August 2022 over a policy that would hide student’s “gender support plans” from their parents and required both staff and students to “respect” someone’s gender identity. The court determined that the district’s policy was “unconstitutionally vague” and decided to grant a preliminary injunction, temporarily halting the enforcement of the policy, according to court documents.
“Due to the vagueness of the policy, the case is remanded with directions to grant a preliminary injunction against enforcement of the portion of the policy prohibiting an intentional or persistent refusal ‘to respect a student’s gender identity,'” the ruling reads.

Does not go far enough.
Compelled Speech…not participating in it.
can clearly see how they’re using these transgender freaks to attack free speech. Tip my hat to them, they play hardball.
“Does not go far enough.”
No, it doesn’t. But we lost this country one step at a time and that’s the only way we have right now of taking it back. The GOP establishment insisted on ignoring the “culture wars” and refused to fight on our behalf. That’s how our educational system became what it is today. We became complacent assuming our leaders would represent our values.
Several conservative legal groups have formed over the past few years and are making quite a bit of headway. Maybe we should all start donating to those groups in order to support their efforts.
I’m seeing pushback in many places recently. I think pushback may get very serious soon.
RE: force students to respect
Whatever happened to rebellious youth?
The juvenile delinquent black leather jacket wearing wild ones.
The beat girls and bongo playing beatnik guys.
The long haired hippies who turned on, tuned in and dropped out.
Now they are all in total lock step, checking every two minutes on their phones to make sure they are friends or followers of the heroes on viral video or messages from peers. No chance at all for individuality.
How did the internet and cell phone age bring that so soon?
——An honest, decent, holy Luddite. I do not own a cell phone.
“unconstitutionally vague” - I really like the phrase.
Will it work on my wife?
My kids?
My boss?
Mother-in-law?
Why does it always seem that school boards are comprised of absolute insane Leftists and all the parents the complete opposite?
How are these school boards elected?
If the same parents showing up to protest these policies, ran and were elected to the boards, we wouldn’t have to worry about any of this crap.
“can clearly see how they’re using these transgender freaks to attack free speech. Tip my hat to them, they play hardball.”
That’s exactly their plan. At some point a judge needs to explain to them that pronouns are speech of the speaker and does not belong to the person being spoken to or referenced.
You can’t force respect. You can only make them fear to utter the truth.
They are forcing judges in Michigan to use defendant’s pronouns. My pronouns would be “your honor” and “case dismissed”.
All communication with the school or school board should begin with “My pronouns are fluid . If you ever get one wrong, I will sue you using your own policy. My child will do the same. Good luck.”
