A California public school district awarded a $100,000 settlement to a single mother after she sued them for “socially transitioning” her 11-year-old daughter behind her back.
In her case, Jessica Konen was represented by the Center for American Liberty, a conservative legal group founded by former candidate for Republican National Committee chairwoman Harmeet Dhillon.
As FOX News reported Tuesday, Konen said her 11-year-old daughter, Alicia, was told by her school in the Spreckels Union School District in Monterey County that she may be upset because she didn’t know who she “truly was inside.” From there, the school allowed her to use the boy’s bathroom, used male pronouns to refer to her and was “socially transitioned” away from her biological gender.
Once Konen found out that her daughter was being identified as a male and socially transitioning without her knowledge, she sued the district. Her daughter has since decided to re-identify as a girl, and the California single mother vowed to keep fighting for parental rights after the settlement in which she was represented by the Center for American Liberty.
Konen spoke at a school board meeting in December 2022, where she told the board members: “You took my ability to parent my child, even before I had any knowledge. I didn’t even get to show support. You asked for support. I didn’t get a chance.”
In addition to the school district, two teachers and the principal of Alicia’s middle school were named in the lawsuit, per an appearance Konen and Dhillon made on the Ingraham Angle in June 2022.
As stated by the lawsuit, the teachers in question “instructed students that they should not tell their parents about their new gender identities” and “purposely failed to keep Equality Club rosters or records so that parents could not discover their children’s participation.”
In addition, the school held “Equality Club meetings during lunch – as opposed to after school – so that students, who were too young to drive, did not have to ask their parents to pick them up.”
In the interview, Dhillon added that multiple teachers have confessed on video to “trying to teach other California teachers how to secretly run these clubs away from the knowledge of the parents….”

This is sick and disturbing. Parents have the right to know.
Praise God this lady won the lawsuit. I hope the (unprintables) have not done damage to the girl’s body. Any teachers who encouraged this should be fired or put in jail.
A clarification to my last post: I think any teacher or employee who encouraged this girl to change her sex, which is impossible, and lie to her mother should be fired, jailed or voted out of office. I am not talking about children born with actual birth defects or mutilations by accidents that need correcting. There is a difference between mutilating sex change operations and surgery done to correct malformations from birth, disease or an accident.
This is an assault on the child and a diabolical form of child abuse for which any teacher should face loss of license to teach and jail, never to enter a classroom again. These people are recruiting children to become victims, and destroy the parent-child relationship. There are unfortunately no words to describe the vile character of this activity.
