Parent Alleges Privacy Violation at Illinois School, District Denies Claims

Nicole Georgas has filed a federal civil rights complaint alleging her daughter was forced to change in front of a transgender student, while the school maintains compliance with state law and denies the allegations.

Nicole Georgas claims her 13-year-old daughter was pressured to change in front of a transgender student in a girls' locker room at Shepard Middle School in Deerfield, Illinois.
The school district denies the allegations, stating that no student is required to change in front of others and that private changing options are available.
Illinois State Representative Bob Morgan publicly dismissed the allegations as false during a General Assembly session, calling them 'a lie.'
Georgas has filed a federal civil rights complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice, citing Title IX violations and privacy concerns.
The incident has intensified debates over privacy, inclusion, and transgender rights, with advocacy groups and political figures taking opposing stances.
