Email from Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty New Richmond Girls’ Title IX Lawsuit Brings National Spotlight New Richmond Parents for Strong Schools has filed a federal lawsuit against the New Richmond School District, alleging that its bathroom policy violates the rights of high school girls under Title IX. The New Richmond School District has a policy allowing boys to use the girl’s bathroom based on a students personal feeling of “gender identity.” WILL is representing New Richmond Parents for Strong Schools—which includes both parents and female students—and is seeking an end to the district’s policy and a declaration that the girls’ civil rights were violated by the district’s actions. WILL Deputy Counsel Cory Brewer and New Richmond High School student Ella Frei joined Fox News appearing on The Faulkner Focus to discuss the lawsuit. Watch the Fox News segment below. WILL Intervenes In Lawsuit Seeking to End School Choice in Wisconsin WILL is representing a group of Wisconsin taxpayers, parents, and choice schools in a motion to intervene in Wisconsin PTA v. Wisconsin State Assembly. The complaint in that case seeks to reduce or eliminate Wisconsin’s School Choice Programs and have the courts determine the level and distribution of funding for education in Wisconsin rather than the Legislature. The Wisconsin Constitution grants the Legislature the authority to determine education policy and to effectuate school funding and charges the Superintendent of Public Instruction with the task of supervising public instruction, not the judicial branch. WILL Deputy Counsel, Cory Brewer, stated, “Courts are not legislatures. They do not get to design or run state school finance systems. That is a policy decision for elected representatives. We’re proud to stand with parents, taxpayers, and schools who value the separation of powers and want a system that prioritizes student success and academic achievement. This lawsuit is a direct threat to that, and we are going to fight it.” Learn More Wisconsin Therapy Ban Conflicts with Recent SCOTUS Decision WILL, Wisconsin Family Action, and WILL’s client Joy Buchman are warning Governor Tony Evers and his Administration to immediately cease any enforcement of a rule which bans consensual, client-driven talk therapy from a perspective the government disfavors. The rule constitutes viewpoint discrimination, similar to the Colorado law SCOTUS recently struck down in Chiles v. Salazar. If the Evers Administration fails to provide written confirmation and commence the repeal of the rule, we will pursue all available legal remedies, including but not limited to filing suit in state and/or federal court seeking declaratory and injunctive relief, nominal damages, and attorney fees. WILL Deputy Counsel, Luke Berg, stated, “Wisconsin’s rule is materially indistinguishable from Colorado’s statute, and therefore is equally unconstitutional. The governor and his administration should promptly repeal this misguided rule to avoid costly litigation and protect the rights of family counselors across Wisconsin.” Read More Bad Ideas Will Mean Even Higher Property Taxes Happy Tax Day!
