Overview

  • President Trump highlighted January Littlejohn's story during his address to Congress, alleging her child's school secretly facilitated a social transition without parental consent.
  • Emails obtained from the case show that Littlejohn initially informed the school about her child's pronoun preferences and expressed gratitude for the school's support.
  • Littlejohn's lawsuit against the Leon County school district claimed the school excluded her from subsequent discussions about her child's gender identity, but the case was dismissed in 2022.
  • Trump's statements during his address misrepresented the situation, suggesting the school acted independently of parental involvement, which is not supported by the documented communications.
  • Littlejohn continues to advocate against what she describes as harmful gender ideology in schools, but the accuracy of her narrative has been questioned based on available records.
