January 1, California Mom Wins Battle Against School Over Unauthorized Gender Transition
In a case that underscores the enduring value of parental rights, a California school district has been compelled to settle for a sum of $100,000 with a concerned mother.
The cause?
The mother alleges her daughter was “socially transitioned” to identify as a boy without her knowledge or explicit consent.
Jessica Konen, the mother in question, shared how her 11-year-old daughter, Alicia, was influenced by the Spreckels Union School District in Monterey County.
School authorities hinted to Alicia that her internal emotional turmoil might be rooted in a lack of understanding of her true self.
Following this, the school took measures that allowed Alicia to utilize the male restroom facilities and even went so far as to address her using male pronouns.
Such decisions essentially positioned her to “socially transition” away from her biological gender identity.
The matter took a sharp turn when Konen discovered the school’s initiatives regarding her daughter’s gender transition without her prior knowledge.
Determined to set things right, Konen proceeded with a lawsuit against the school district. Presently, Alicia has reverted to her identity as a female.
Represented by the Center for American Liberty in the case, Konen emerged with the determination to champion the cause of parental rights.
Expressing her sentiments to Fox News Digital, Konen remarked, “They need to understand their place, and they need to stay in their place. Schools today are not what they used to be. I am determined to combat this issue and I will persistently battle this cause.”
Undeterred by the situation, she continued, “I won’t stand idle and watch this happen to other children. The battle must go on.”
While the Spreckels Union School District hasn’t publicly admitted to any wrongdoing in the settlement, this case stands out prominently against the backdrop of a broader, national discussion about parents’ rights and their role in the significant decisions in their children’s education.
Mark Trammell, Executive Director of the Center for American Liberty, conveyed the essence of this case to Fox News Digital, commenting, “This is fundamentally a matter of safeguarding the sanctified relationship and the rights shared between parents and their offspring. Parents are undeniably entitled to participate actively in the crucial choices that shape their child’s existence.”
Navigating the complexities of the situation, Konen adopted a cautious approach, often using neutral terms like “sweetie” to address her daughter, steering clear from potentially controversial remarks.
This has had its toll on their bond, but Konen is optimistic about the future, stressing the need to eradicate the culture of “parental secrecy” in academic institutions.
Konen voiced her pride and admiration for her daughter’s courage, urging, “Parents, stay alert and always trust your instincts. This incident has been an eye-opener.”
Grateful for the outcome, Konen fervently wishes that other parents might benefit from her ordeal.
“We can now finally find peace and move on. But my advice to parents is to always stay involved, be inquisitive, and never hesitate to challenge the status quo.”
The Spreckels Union School District remains silent, having not responded to solicitations for their comments on the matter.

The left-wing fanatics have gone way too far on many issues, but this obsession with playing around with childrens’ identities is obscene. It is too bad this did not go to trial, and the school made to admit their crime, for this is, indeed, a crime. As it is, they are staying silent, no doubt continuing their obscene extreme crimes.

School system is not there at night when the student has issues – the parent is. The school system is not there at doctor’s appointments – the parent is. The school system is not there when the child fails and needs support to pick up and move on – th parent it. The school system is not there to celebrate all wins – the parent is. So unless the school system intends to be in the life of the child more AND PAY for the rearing of that child – the child was a gift to God, do not take the child from the parent.

Be careful, you just gave the state a roadmap to take full custody of the children in this country. They are happy to PAY for it using the power to raise property taxes. The evil left would like nothing more than to house/feed/clothe the children of this country and become their legal guardians in order to fully indoctrinate them as full fledged state puppets.

What gives a school or a person the right to determine the sex of a child put on this earth by a greater power determining the biological gender. All this crap in schools tends to confuse children and they go along with people they spend most of the day with. What kid at a preschool and maybe later didn’t put on his/her moms/dads shoes or played another sex in a school play. This does not make him or her trans gender You can not even vote until your 18, what gives anyone the right to influence or promote a new gender for a child until they are at an age where their maturity will allow them to make their own decisions.

Our children are not the property of the state!
We have the right to protect our children and tell the LGTBQ community and all government officials to keep their dirty hands off of our children!
I have been and continue to be an advocate for homeschooling.

The school system now days is nothing more than following the dominance of the Communist doctrine implemented by the Democractic party. Every American should be vigilant of our rights and must engage in the fight against Communism in our country.

I will add the school system is also following a Satanistic doctrine.

No one EVER gives the government the authority to co-parent their children. Public education needs to be completely destroyed and rebuilt with the only purpose to teach math, English spelling and composition, history as it REALLY happened with emphasis on U.S. history, the good and the bad, REAL science not hypothesis, arts, home economics, physical education and diet, art as applicable and “shop” classes metal, wood, automotive, welding. I’m sure others can be added but with input from the community.

I am disgusted at the ability of the reach of the public school educators at every level to immerse themselves into indoctrinating our children in every aspect of their young lives but the most heinous of their crimes is their depraved entry into trying to force them into transgender behavior, including medical surgical interventions. This must be stopped at all levels. Children are not puppets to be played with the state. They belong to their parents and this is a sacred bond.

What has happened to my beloved country….What I miss the most is my right as a parewnt…to parent MY child – without outside interference. Short of sexual – physical abuse….my child was MY responsibility….I was responsible for his welfare – daily nourishment, shoes, clothes, medical insurance, hair cuts, Dr. appts., keep up with their vaccinations, oversee their comings and goings, make sure they get their sleep, get to school on time, do homework, get their eyes checked, amongst all the other parental expectations. IF the school THINKS they should have the right to influence my child…. then that right might now by extension need to cover every aspect of their care. How close are we getting to the state/government control??
