Nearly twenty states united to submit a summary of its courts to defend the constitutional rights of the Florida family, accused of secretly “social transition” to their 13-year-old daughter without consent.
The summary, filed April 30, involves January and Leon County, Florida's parent Jeffrey Littlejohn, who accused school officials of private meeting with their children, involving the use of new names and pronouns, and without informing or information with them as parents.
School staff allegedly asked Little Johns' daughter, who she wanted to use the bathroom and locker room, which gender she wanted to use during her overnight trip, if she wanted her parents to be notified.
On March 12, the district’s 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals led 2-1 with a three-judge panel leading 2-1, finding that school officials “do not take action to be intentional injuring” or “force children to attend student support program meetings” and thus fail to meet the “shock conscience” standard.
Littlejohns appealed, demanding that the court hear the case all.

The "shock the conscience" standard is often used in due process cases and referring to "egregious and unjust actions" that violent principles of fairness and decency, according to the Liberty Justice Center, which, in addition to the brief filed by the states' attorneys general, joined the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty and Dr. Erica Anderson, Ph.D., in filing a brief in support of the parents' position.
Emily Rae, a senior adviser at the Center for Free Justice, told Fox News Digital Numbers, “The issue of parent notification policy, or in this case, the lack of notification policy is something we see nationwide.” “There are dozens of cases at the state and federal levels that are juggling this issue in an attempt to determine the rights of parents in this case.”

The state attorney general added: “Purposely withholding key information about parents’ so-called medical treatment, which is a school that provides not only violates this right, but also does so for disturbing and constitutionally intolerable levels.”
"Parents - not government - know the children who best suit their children," Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr wrote in a statement. "We will always represent the rights of parents and families in Georgia."
The Center for Liberty Justice, together with the Wisconsin Law and Freedom Institute and Anderson, wrote that school officials are not experts and should not help students transition.
"All in all, no professional association recommends that teachers and school officials who have no expertise on these issues should promote social transitions during school-time social transitions, treating minors as if they were indeed the opposite sex, and their parents were secret," the Center for Free Justice wrote. "Were parents in this way to be shocked."
