The U.S. Supreme Court yesterday denied review in Foote v. Ludlow School Committee, (Docket No. 25-77, certiorari denied 4/20/2026). (Order List). In the case, the U.S. 1st Circuit Court of Appeals held that petitioners' parental rights protected by the 14th Amendment were not infringed by a school Protocol requiring staff to use a student's requested name and gender pronouns in school without notifying parents of the request unless the student consents. Parents' objections to the policy were not religious, but were moral and scientific. Reuters reports on the Supreme Court's action.
