Episode: Colorado Fifth Grader Forced to Share Bed with Transgender Student
Description: Mallory Rechtenbach from Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) discusses a recent case in Jefferson County, Colorado, where a fifth-grade girl was forced to share a bed with a male student who identifies as a girl during a cross-country overnight trip. The school district did not inform the girl or her parents about the policy beforehand, leading to a highly uncomfortable situation. ADF sent a letter to the district, requesting clarification on the policy and an opt-out option for parents. Rechtenbach emphasizes the importance of informing parents and involving them in decisions regarding their children's accommodations.
