Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether parents surrender their fundamental right to direct the upbringing of their children by enrolling them in public school so that a school district can compel children to disregard biological reality by requiring that they expose their bodies to classmates of the opposite sex and affirm that a child is the sex with which he or she selfidentifies. 2. Whether schoolchildren’s rights to bodily privacy are violated when they are compelled to undress and engage in intimate bodily functions in the presence of members of the opposite sex who selfidentify as something other than their sex while using privacy facilities. 3. Whether a school district can compel children to violate sincerely held religious beliefs that sex is based on biological reality by being forced to affirm that members of one biological sex are members of the opposite sex if they self-identify as that sex. 4. Whether a school district violates Title IX when it compels children to accept into sex-separate privacy facilities members of the opposite sex who self-identify as something other than their sex and to affirm that students are members of whatever sex with which they self-identify.
