Parents sue school over female student's 'severe emotional trauma' claiming ... trends now
A group of parents are suing an Ohio school district after a female student allegedly suffered 'severe emotional trauma' by teachers accused of pressuring her to identify as male.
The parents filed a lawsuit against Hilliard City Schools in January last year in a bid to prohibit educators from discussing sexual matters with students. The suit also aimed to ban teachers from wearing badges issuing support of LGBTQ students.
In an amended suit filed this month, the parents accused school officials of forcing a female student to adopt 'a new name and identity as the opposite sex'.
School officials 'treated the child as the opposite sex' without parental consent after allegedly 'diagnosing' the girl with gender dysphoria, according to the complaint obtained by DailyMail.com.
Her parents were not privy to the district's diagnosis and, according to the suit, the student's 'condition spiraled out of control' after the family was made aware of the situation when a postcard using the child's male name and pronouns arrived at the home.
The parents allege the district's actions caused the student to take self-harming actions and resulted in a suicide attempt at school, the filing claims.

In the complaint, which lists the school board and its members as defendants, the parents accused school officials of deceiving them about the girl's alleged-condition.
They claim that although they referred to the student using their 'opposite-sex name' while in school, teachers used pronounced consistent with their 'biological sex' in the presence of the parents.
