Litigation may occur if a Wisconsin middle school does not follow through with a request from attorneys.
Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL) attorney Cory Brewer explains that three eighth grade boys have received a Title IX complaint against them for “mispronouning.” She says the school district appears to be taking the position that merely using incorrect pronouns, or not using someone’s preferred pronouns, is sexual harassment under Title IX.
“Our position is that that is completely inappropriate,” she tells American Family News.
“We’ve written a letter to the district, asking them to end the Title IX investigation, drop the complaint, and remove the complaints from each of the boys’ academic records,” says Brewer. “Right now, we’re hoping that that is all we need to do.”

She adds, though, that the issue implicates First Amendment and possibly due process violations. So depending on how the school responds, litigation is a possibility.
While there have been and are cases involving faculty members throughout the country not using a student’s preferred pronouns, Brewer says this is the first case involving students of which she has heard.
“They went to school with this classmate who is a biological female but asked at either the end of March of this year or the beginning of April to be referred to by the pronouns they and them,” Brewer explains. “The boys, I think, initially were a little bit confused about how to use those pronouns; they’re used to going to school with this individual who used to be referred to as a girl.”
The attorney asserts, though, that “mispronouning” is not sexual harassment.
“It is really inappropriate for the school district to be taking this action,” Brewer reiterates.

The school district officials need to be fired and permanently banned from any and all employment in any kind of educational system. This kind of stupidity should not exist under any circumstances.
These people are suppose to be educators? Seems like this is another example of the left wing liberals going nuts! They are destroying this nation, one word at a time. When are we going to say, enough is enough?
YOu can bet, if this is let to stand, we’ll see MORE FOLKS BE Punished for ‘misgendering’.
Gasp! The laws of grammatical usage are now being used create a new category abuse, the problem between the singular and plural which are in common usage. Language never works this way, the imposition of some outside dimension that is not part of the evolvement of language usage! I do not believe that there are laws on the books concerning the misuse of language, there are, however, laws concerning making false or (shall we say) pretentious charges!
That seems to be what the dems want.. FOLKS BEING FORCED to comply, or get sued/arrested.
How stupid is this????
school district appears to be taking the position that merely using incorrect pronouns, or not using someone’s preferred pronouns, is sexual harassment under Title IX.
Amendment 1
Congress (or public school districts)shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
How about just referring to these sexual perverts as … ‘It”,
Let’s get more politically correct; if a she wants to be a he; a he wants to be a she just combine the she, he, and it into ***** (notice she, he, it) which I really believe they are, *****.
DEAQUI : 🙂 🙂 🙂
More like asinine stupidity and pure ignorance—and coming from a school at that.
Son Of Thunder:
Public schools are under the rule of the treasonous, unethical, immoral, demonic, Democrat Party and they teach our children their cult beliefs.
To fully advance the Demonic, Lying, Treasonous, Socialist Democrat Party’s destructive agendas: to divide our citizens with hate and promote – rioting, burning, looting, open borders, radical feminism, abortion-on-demand, the LGBTQ lifestyle, unfettered sexual identity, transgender “gay marriage” and the like, the pagan Liberal left Democrats must do away with GOD, our Constitution, common sense, morality, Christian values and free religious exercise altogether (unless it is their demonic cult).
Under the Disguise of “anti-discrimination.”
The world has gone mad!
It has to come from a school. You have to be “highly educated” to be that messed up. Nature can’t do it on it’s own.
hacksaw: Don’t confuse “highly educated” with brainwashing and indoctrination.
Just because they may have diplomas, does NOT mean they are educated..
JUST INDOCTRINATED.
And the school won’t respond because they’re likely embarrassed, or at least should be—or just plain cowards.
Did you see Gutfeld, where he was on about that school in Philly, that sent teachers to a KINK Sex seminar??
The real confusion is the people on the school boards, the teachers, and the idiots running the dept. of NO education.
Of course eighth-graders are confused when teachers tell them that some girls “don’t identify as” girls. Most boys that age (14) are still trying to figure out what girls are.
They are being punished for using the wrong pronoun, and we all know what a pronoun is, it’s a noun that has lost its amateur status.
If you cannot accept only two genders and normal pronouns, I no longer Give a Dam if I offend YOU.
I see a gross miscarriage of LAW and Biology . Freedom of Speech is guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. Sex choice is not. Therefore , when Biology is absent , there is the misguided to guide them on their way. So , when SCIENCE fails to help , the misguided use ILLEGAL TACTICS , i.e. laws passed to FORCE one to capitulate to their whims. I liken these people too Pelosi. She NEITHER knows the Bible , the teachings of the Catholic Church , nor does she know the Constitution . She does know where the liquor cabinet is located , has fifteen liquor stores on “speed dial” , and Biden in her prodigious rear pocket . It is time , that the Country is retaken by people with a functioning Moral Compass . LGBTQ whatever , could not find their way out of a one hole outhouse without GPS . The SHAME lies at their feet.
