Parents Protest After Daughter Forced to Share Bed with Transgender Student on School Trip

Legal group Alliance Defending Freedom alleges school district's policy of withholding information from parents is unconstitutional.

  • Parents Joe and Serena Wailes have complained to Jefferson County Public Schools after their 11-year-old daughter was allegedly forced to share a bed with a biological male who identifies as a girl during a school trip.
  • The incident allegedly occurred over the summer, when the district organized a cross-country overnight trip to Philadelphia and Washington, D.C.
  • The daughter found out the student she was sharing a bed with was transgender only because the student told her on the first night of the trip.
  • The parents discovered that the school assigned their daughter to share a room with the transgender student without notifying them or informing their daughter.
  • The Christian legal group Alliance Defending Freedom has sent a demand letter to Jefferson County Public Schools on behalf of the Colorado parents, alleging that its policy of 'hiding information from parents and lying to students is unconstitutional.'
