A California mom is requesting damages from the Spreckels Union School District after teachers allegedly pressured her daughter into attempting to change genders and conceal from her mother efforts to change her pronouns and name.
“It made me extremely angry, and now I’m taking action for that,” mother Jessica Konen told “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday. “I’m going to make sure that this doesn’t happen anymore.” Attorney Harmeet Dhillon, who represents Konen, said they would pursue legal action if the school district didn’t comply with their demands.
Konen’s daughter has moved to another school district, according to the legal complaint filed last week.
“Their parents think we start that conversation, but we don’t,” she said. “TikTok starts it, Snapchat starts it, Instagram starts it or their classmates start it, and then we just try to answer the questions as honestly and fairly as we can.”
