US EditionWILL Files Federal Title IX Lawsuit Against New Richmond School Policy
The suit seeks to block the policy and says it violates Title IX and students’ privacy, while the district says it is complying with the law.
- On Friday, April 10, New Richmond Parents filed a federal lawsuit against the New Richmond School District in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin, claiming Title IX violations.
- Plaintiffs argue the district's policy allowing transgender students to use bathrooms matching their gender identity at New Richmond High School infringes on the privacy and safety of cisgender female students.
- The issue has stirred controversy in New Richmond, a community of about 11,000 residents roughly 35 miles east of the Twin Cities, where parent Jessica Turner of Wisconsin Moms said staff told her daughter to use a single-stall restroom.
- An ongoing federal investigation launched by the Department of Education on March 5 preceded this lawsuit, while the district stated it complies with all applicable laws and is cooperating.
- A 2017 federal appeals court ruling established that transgender students are protected under Title IX, though district attorney Michael Waldspurger noted recent court decisions favor allowing students to select restrooms based on gender identity.
