Success Without Even Having to File a Lawsuit
When the Clapp family called Child and Parental Rights Campaign we thought we were in for a huge fight in federal court. After all, they live just outside of New York City, where gender ideology is radically supported. Their daughter was being socially transitioned to a “male” identity by her public school over her parents’ objections. This, in spite of the fact that her therapist and a residential treatment center had insisted that it would be harmful to the young girl’s mental health.
In preparation for a federal lawsuit, we sent a letter to school officials demanding that they honor the parents’ wishes and the medical opinion of the professionals who were working with the Clapps’ daughter. In order to strengthen their position, we helped the parents retain a renowned psychiatrist to begin working with their daughter and she too submitted her medical opinion that it was in the child’s best interest to not endorse their daughter’s desire to be treated as if she were a “boy” by school officials.
To the parents’ great relief, the school officials caved and agreed to follow the parents’ directions and the medical opinions of the medical professionals. This happened in New York State!
You might wonder what fuels our resolve to fight this irrational ideology. It is emails like the one we received from Mr. and Mrs. Clapp after we helped them protect their daughter:
"We can never adequately express the depth of our gratitude for your tireless work in restoring our parental rights to protect our daughter at school, nor can we ever adequately repay you for your grit, dedication, expertise, and manpower. To have a legal team of your caliber paying such scrupulous attention to our small case (and without nearly the monetary compensation you deserve) is astounding. We are still pinching ourselves that this went our way without going to court—and in New York State, no less! This is a testament your collective efforts, know-how, persistence, and passion for this cause.
…we will be able to sleep at night knowing that, with your help, we’ve done everything in our power to safeguard [our daughter] from harmful people and practices.
Again, you have our undying gratitude! Thank you for standing up for the rights of us and other parents who have been marginalized, condescended to, and disregarded by the public school system. We value and believe in the important and necessary work you are doing, and we will continue to support you in any way we can."
