How to Respond When a Public School Sues its Students for Not Using Vanity Pronouns of other Students

Fair spoke up for the students who were sued by the Kiel Middle School in Wisconsin. Here’s an excerpt for the letter FAIR sent to the school:

By initiating proceedings against students for not using the alternative pronouns of others, Kiel is not simply punishing them for protected speech; it is compelling them to affirm ideological beliefs in violation of their First Amendment rights. Pronoun declarations are not value-neutral statements such as name and age. They are politically loaded and premised on a specific set of ideological beliefs: that pronouns refer to gender and not biological sex, that one can be neither male nor female, and that gender is a matter of personal choice rather than a biological condition.
