If a student wants to change their gender at school, should staff keep the child’s secret from the parents? Dr. Phil talks with a mother who is suing her daughter’s school district for secretly transitioning her daughter.
Tonight, Dr. Phil examines how parental secrecy guidelines and laws affect American families. Aurora Regino is a plaintiff in a lawsuit alleging staff at the Chico Unified School District violated her rights when they secretly transitioned her 11-year-old daughter in the 5th grade. Aurora, joined by her attorney Josh Dixon from the Center for American Liberty, claim she signed a permission slip to allow her daughter to take an arts and crafts class, unaware she was meeting with a school counselor who was helping her transition to become a boy. Later, Dr. Phil is joined by Founder of Trans Student Educational Resources, Eli Erlich, and Education Advocate, Maud Maron who discuss whether or not children should have privacy when exploring their gender identity and sexuality at school.
