States support parents in legal case over school’s secret gender transition of child

Nearly two dozen states have banded together, filing an amicus brief to defend the constitutional rights of a Florida family, whose public middle school is accused of secretly «socially transitioning» their 13-year-old daughter without their consent.
The brief, filed on April 30, involves January and Jeffrey Littlejohn, parents in Leon County, Florida, who allege school officials met privately with their child about using a new name and pronouns, and did not inform or involve them as parents.
School staff allegedly asked the Littlejohns’ daughter which bathroom and locker rooms she wanted to use, which gender she wanted to room with during overnight trips, and if she wanted her parents to be notified.
A three-judge panel from the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta sided 2-1 with the school district in a ruling on March 12, finding school officials «did not act with intent to injure» or «force the child to attend a student support plan meeting,» thus not meeting the «shock the conscience» standard.
The Littlejohns appealed, requesting the court hear the case in full.

The «shock the conscience» standard is often used in due process cases and refers to «egregious and unjust actions» that violate principles of fairness and decency, according to the Liberty Justice Center, which, in addition to the brief filed by the states’ attorneys general, joined the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty and Dr. Erica Anderson, Ph.D., in filing a brief in support of the parents’ position.
«The issue of parental notification policy, or, in this case, the lack of notification policies, is something we’re seeing around the country,» Emily Rae, senior counsel at the Liberty Justice Center, told Fox News Digital. «There are dozens of cases at the state level and federal level juggling this issue, trying to determine what parents’ rights are in this situation.»
States’ attorneys general called the court’s decision «disastrous for parents everywhere,» according to the brief that includes Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, South Carolina, South Dakota, Virginia, West Virginia and Arizona.

«Purposefully withholding from a parent critical information about supposed medical treatment that a school is providing a student not only violates that right, but does so to a disturbing and constitutionally intolerable degree,» the states’ attorneys general added.
«Parents – not the government – know what’s best for their children,» Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr wrote in a statement. «We will always stand for parental rights and Georgia families.»
The Liberty Justice Center, in conjunction with the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty and Anderson, wrote that school officials are not experts and should not aid in students’ transition.
«To summarize, no professional association recommends that teachers and school officials, who have no expertise whatsoever in these issues, should facilitate a social transition while at school, treating minors as if they are really the opposite sex, in secret from their parents,» the Liberty Justice Center wrote. «Usurping the parents in this way is conscience-shocking.»

In an interview earlier this year, January Littlejohn, who was one of President Donald Trump’s guests at his address to a joint session of Congress, said the school’s actions had a «destructive» effect on her entire family.

Ultimately, she said her daughter worked through the gender confusion, but the issue created a family rift that «took many years to repair.»
The Leon County School District and Carr did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s requests for comment.

Chile entregó archivos confidenciales a familiares de víctimas de la dictadura y anunció un banco público de ADN

El presidente de Chile, Gabriel Boric, encabezó este lunes la entrega oficial de archivos reservados a familiares de víctimas de la dictadura militar (1973–1990), en el marco de una política estatal que busca avanzar en verdad y justicia. Las denominadas “carpetas de calificación” contienen antecedentes que permitieron acreditar como víctimas a personas ejecutadas o desaparecidas durante el régimen de Augusto Pinochet.
“Esta documentación representa un patrimonio y parte de la memoria de las familias, la comunidad y el país en general”, señaló la Presidencia en un comunicado. El acto se llevó a cabo coincidiendo con el Día Internacional de los Archivos y forma parte del Plan Nacional de Búsqueda, una estrategia estatal inédita mediante la cual el Estado asume por primera vez la responsabilidad directa en la búsqueda de detenidos desaparecidos.
Los archivos entregados incluyen testimonios, informes, antecedentes personales y resoluciones administrativas recabados por la Comisión Nacional de Verdad y Reconciliación (conocida como Comisión Rettig) y la Corporación Nacional de Reparación y Reconciliación, organismos creados durante la transición democrática.

La documentación proviene tanto de organismos del Estado como de organizaciones de la sociedad civil, familiares de las víctimas y sobrevivientes. Este archivo fue declarado Monumento Nacional en 2022, por su relevancia histórica y simbólica.
Según cifras oficiales, la dictadura de Pinochet dejó al menos 3.200 muertos, de los cuales 1.469 corresponden a desapariciones forzadas. Hasta la fecha, se han identificado los restos de 307 personas, mientras que otras 1.162 continúan desaparecidas. Los antecedentes contenidos en las carpetas entregadas son clave para continuar esas investigaciones.
De forma paralela, el gobierno también anunció la creación de un banco público de ADN para facilitar la identificación de víctimas de las adopciones ilegales cometidas durante la dictadura, muchas de las cuales fueron orquestadas con la participación de funcionarios del Estado y actores del sistema de salud y justicia.

Organizaciones como la Fundación Hijos y Madres del Silencio exigen que el banco de ADN se implemente antes del fin del mandato de Boric, en marzo de 2026. “Es una medida muy importante, similar a lo que tienen las Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo en Argentina, pero queremos que realmente se cumpla”, señaló Marisol Rodríguez, vocera de la fundación, quien busca a su hermano, sustraído en un hospital de Santiago en 1972.
Las víctimas denuncian que fueron sedadas, engañadas o presionadas para entregar a sus hijos recién nacidos, en muchos casos bajo la falsa premisa de que habían fallecido. El sistema de adopciones ilegales involucró a médicos, matronas, jueces, notarios, autoridades migratorias y religiosos, y afectó principalmente a madres jóvenes y de escasos recursos. Se estima que alrededor de 20.000 menores fueron adoptados de manera irregular por familias extranjeras. De ellos, solo 1.000 han logrado reencontrarse con sus familias de origen, según datos del Poder Judicial.

El presidente Boric anunció la creación del banco genético en su reciente cuenta pública ante el Congreso, pero hasta ahora no se han detallado los plazos ni el funcionamiento del sistema. La medida permitiría a cualquier persona con dudas sobre su origen consultar la base genética de forma extrajudicial, sin necesidad de iniciar un proceso penal ni involucrar directamente a las familias adoptivas.
“Hay muchas personas apropiadas que no tuvieron un proceso legal de adopción y que no quieren involucrar a sus padres adoptivos, pero sí quieren saber quiénes son”, explicó Rodríguez. Otras afectadas, como María Inés Soto, expresaron escepticismo debido a intentos fallidos anteriores, como el proyecto impulsado en 2020 durante el segundo mandato de Sebastián Piñera, que no avanzó más allá de la recolección de unas pocas muestras de ADN.
El anuncio ocurre en una semana marcada también por un hito judicial sin precedentes: por primera vez, un juez chileno acreditó la existencia de una red de adopciones ilegales durante la dictadura y procesó a cinco personas por sustracción de menores. La investigación penal se abrió formalmente en 2018, cuatro años después de las primeras denuncias públicas.
“Yo pido a quien tenga información que nos la dé, para que todos nuestros hijos e hijas vuelvan”, declaró Nilda, otra madre que busca desde 1974 a su hija, presuntamente fallecida al nacer. “Me dijeron que estaba enferma, pero era una guagua sana. Se la llevaron para siempre”.
Con estas dos medidas —la entrega de archivos de víctimas del régimen y la creación del banco de ADN— el Estado chileno profundiza su responsabilidad en el esclarecimiento de crímenes de lesa humanidad y en la reparación de sus consecuencias, más de tres décadas después del fin de la dictadura.

113 House Dems vote against GOP resolution to condemn Boulder attack on pro-Israel activists

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
More than 100 Democrats voted against a House GOP-led resolution to condemn the accused terror attack in Boulder, Colorado.
It passed 280-113, with 75 Democrats joining Republicans to vote for the bill. Six lawmakers, five Democrats and one Republican, voted «present.»
The legislation was introduced by Rep. Gabe Evans, R-Colo., last week in response to the attack. But Democrat lawmakers made clear they were opposed to language in the resolution that they felt was politically charged.
In addition to condemning the attack, Evans’ resolution also appeared to rebuke blue-leaning sanctuary jurisdictions that were at odds with federal immigration authorities, and he condemned illegal immigrants who overstay their visas as well.
A second bill, led by Reps. Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., and Joe Neguse, D-Colo., more broadly condemned the rise in antisemitic attacks in the U.S. That legislation netted much wider bipartisan support, passing 400-0, with just two lawmakers voting «present.»

But Evans’ resolution more specifically noted that the case of terror suspect Mohammed Sabry Soliman, who overstayed a tourist visa and a subsequent work authorization, «demonstrates the dangers of not removing from the country aliens who fail to comply with the terms of their visas.»
The Egyptian national is facing federal charges after allegedly attempting to set fire to peaceful demonstrators who were protesting Hamas’ continued possession of Israeli hostages in Gaza.
The Trump administration has vowed that he and his family will be deported from the U.S.
Evans’ resolution also «affirms that free and open communication between State and local law enforcement and their Federal counterparts remains the bedrock of public safety and is necessary in preventing terrorist attacks» and it «expresses gratitude to law enforcement officers, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel, for protecting the homeland.»
It comes as Democrat-controlled cities like Los Angeles and Nashville, Tennessee, have seen their leaders criticize the Trump administration’s ICE crackdown.
The Trump administration’s handling of anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles has spurred an outpouring of scorn from Democrat officials, particularly the decision to send National Guard troops in to break up the demonstrations.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., criticized Evans’ resolution in comments to reporters on Monday.

«Who is this guy? He’s not seriously concerned with combating antisemitism in America. This is not a serious effort,» Jeffries said. «Antisemitism is a scourge on America. It shouldn’t be weaponized politically.»
Jeffries also called Evans «a joke.»
Evans responded on X, «I served our nation in uniform in the Middle East, as a cop in Colorado, & now as a Congressman. This wildly offensive sentiment from Democrat’s Leader is why antisemitism persists. The Left is unserious about finding real solutions.»
Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., who is Jewish, also criticized Evans’ resolution.
MEET THE TRUMP-PICKED LAWMAKERS GIVING SPEAKER JOHNSON A FULL HOUSE GOP CONFERENCE
«You weren’t here, Mr. Evans, last term, but there were about 10 antisemitism resolutions that effectively said the same thing solely to score political points. We Jews are sick and tired of being used as pawns,» Goldman said during debate on the bill.

But Van Drew, who is leading a bipartisan resolution that similarly condemns antisemitism but does not discuss immigration, defended Evans’ measure.
«Yes, it is different than mine. Mine focused purely on antisemitism here in the world. But he brings up a valid point not only for Jews, but for many innocent victims. Whether it was Laken Riley, whether it was the women that were raped, the women and men that were killed, those that were beaten, those that were hurt, who were in law enforcement. Illegal immigration is not a good thing,» Van Drew said.
The two lawmakers who voted «present» on Van Drew’s resolution were Reps. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.
Greene wrote on X after the vote, «Antisemitic hate crimes are wrong, but so are all hate crimes. Yet Congress never votes on hate crimes committed against white people, Christians, men, the homeless, or countless others. Tonight, the House passed two more antisemitism-related resolutions, the 20th and 21st I’ve voted on since taking office. Meanwhile, Americans from every background are being murdered — even in the womb — and Congress stays silent.»
