Mom Trump Praised Battles Gender Ideology, Takes on School District

A Florida mom who is fighting back against a Florida school district after her daughter experienced gender confusion is on a mission to help other parents maintain their rights. "This started for my family at the height of COVID in 2020," January Littlejohn told CBN News. "Our daughter fell prey to the lies of gender identity ideology and that she was born in the wrong body in May of 2020. And so this was shortly after three of her friends at our local middle school had also started suddenly identifying as some form of transgender." At the time, Littlejohn, who was recognized by President Donald Trump during his address to a joint session of Congress earlier this month, said "very little" was known about this "social contagion," and she and her family, who were aware their daughter was struggling, initially trusted the school and officials with the Leon County school system. "Like so many parents, I trusted the school," she said. "I had no reason at that time not to, and, in fact, I was volunteer of the year at the school. I was a huge proponent for public schools and teachers. I dedicated hundreds of hours to volunteering in the classroom." Littlejohn said she reached out to her daughter's teacher and disclosed what was happening with her daughter. She told the educator she was "not affirming any kind of false sexual identity" and that she was engaging a counselor to assist. "We did know that our child was struggling and we were very concerned as her parents because nobody loves and knows their child more than a parent does," she said. "So we were handling this as a family. And there are aspects of those emails that I cannot go into because we are still in the litigation process." Littlejohn has been embroiled in a challenge rooted in what happened after her initial email to the teacher. She claims her daughter met with the school without her knowledge and was asked questions about restrooms, among other issues. Here is her story. Story Update: Since this conversation, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals issued a 2-1 decision against the Littlejohns. Their legal team is evaluating the situation to look at next steps.
