Tenth Circuit Affirms Dismissal of Substantive Due Process Challenge to School District's Gender-Identity Policies
In Lee v. Poudre School District R-1, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit affirmed the dismissal of a complaint filed by parents alleging that Poudre School District maintained official policies discouraging disclosure of transgender or nonbinary students’ gender identities, thus violating their substantive-due-process right to the care, custody and control of their children. The circuit court ruled that the parents had failed to adequately allege municipal liability.
