波特兰公立学校撤销了对一位俄勒冈母亲侵入校园禁令的指控,该母亲反对学区 gender 课程,据代表这位家长的律师事务所称。

Portland Public Schools rescinded its trespass order against an Oregon mother over her opposition to the district's gender curriculum, according to a legal group representing the parent.

今年8月,艾莉森·罗伯茨起诉波特兰公立学校,起因是她去年对梅里韦瑟尔 Lewis 小学将传统彩虹骄傲旗改为“跨性别包容进步”变体表示担忧,该变体旨在纳入对种族包容和跨性别权利的支持。

In August, Allison Roberts sued Portland Public Schools after she expressed concern last year over Meriwether Lewis Elementary School's decision to repaint its traditional rainbow pride flag into an "Intersex-Inclusive Progress" variant to include support for racial inclusion and transgender rights.

罗伯茨还发现了一项“身份花朵”作业,要求她的11岁孩子与同学和老师讨论性别认同。在收到学校不满意的回复后,罗伯茨写了一封公开信批评学校的政策,并在学校财产外的公共人行道上分发给社区成员。

Roberts also discovered an "identity flower" assignment given to her 11-year-old child that asked students to identify and discuss their gender identity with classmates and teachers. After receiving what she described as an unsatisfactory response from the school, Roberts wrote an open letter to the community criticizing the school's policies, which she distributed on a public sidewalk outside school property.

学校后来以“骚扰、恐吓和威胁行为”为由指控罗伯茨,称其属于针对社区弱势成员的“恶意和骚扰”模式的一部分。学区向罗伯茨发出了一年期的侵入禁令,禁止她参加包括孩子的毕业典礼在内的学校活动。

The school later accused Roberts of "harassment, intimidation, and threatening behavior" as part of a pattern of "animus and harassment targeting vulnerable members of [the] community." The district issued Roberts a one-year trespass order barring her from attending school events, including her child's graduation ceremony.

据代表罗伯茨的自由正义中心(Liberty Justice Center)称,波特兰公立学校在定于听证会前同意做出多项让步,包括撤销校园禁令、豁免其子女遵守某些 LGBTQ2SIA+ 相关课程要求,以及审查其不歧视和反骚扰政策。

According to the Liberty Justice Center, which represented Roberts, Portland Public Schools agreed to several concessions before a scheduled hearing on Roberts’ motion for a preliminary injunction. These included rescinding her campus ban, exempting her children from certain LGBTQ2SIA+-related curriculum requirements and reviewing its nondiscrimination and anti-harassment policy.

波特兰公立学校在致福克斯新闻数字频道的一份声明中确认,学区“于11月中旬同意撤销侵入通知”。声明称:“PPS 将并会继续遵守所有服务于和保护儿童的法律。”

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Portland Public Schools confirmed that the school district "agreed to rescind the trespass notice in mid-November." "PPS has and will continue to comply with all laws that serve and protect children," the district's statement read.

自由司法中心“家长倡议”项目首席律师蒂莫西·斯诺鲍称这一让步是“胜利”,并告诉福克斯新闻数字频道,这标志着该学区认识到这些行为违宪。

Timothy Snowball, lead attorney for the Liberty Justice Center's PARENTS Initiative, called the concessions a "victory" and told Fox News Digital that they were a sign of the school district recognizing that these actions were unconstitutional.

“这次和解的时机并非巧合,”他说。“就在谈判开始前两天,该学区还决意要与艾利森·罗伯茨对抗。但在联邦法官用一两个小时向他们解释其行为为何违宪后,他们立即改变了计划。这恰恰表明,波特兰需要接受基本公民知识教育的可不止学生,”斯诺鲍补充道。

"The timing of this settlement is not a coincidence," he said. "Only two days before the negotiations started, the district was set on fighting Allison Roberts. But after an hour or two with a federal judge explaining to them why their conduct was unconstitutional, they immediately changed their plans." Just goes to show that the students aren’t the only ones in Portland who need an education on basic civics," Snowball added.

另一场关于该学区政策的听证会定于12月1日举行,重点是关于斯诺鲍所说的允许教师向家长隐瞒信息的政策。

Another hearing on the district's policies is scheduled for Dec. 1, with a focus on policies Snowball said allow teachers to withhold information from parents.

“波特兰公立学校试图让一位敢于质疑孩子学校里所发生之事的母亲噤声。如今,该学区已同意撤回警告、取消校园禁令,并承认她自由发言的权利,”斯诺鲍在另一份声明中说。

"Portland Public Schools tried to silence a mother who dared to question what was happening in her children’s school. Now the district has agreed to withdraw its warning, rescind its campus ban, and recognize her right to speak freely," Snowball said in a separate statement.

“这是一次重大胜利,不仅对艾利森·罗伯茨而言,而且对每一个被告知要保持沉默、把这些决定交给学校官员的家长来说都是如此,”声明继续写道。“但斗争尚未结束。该学区继续为那些允许学校官员在某些情况下向家长隐瞒有关其子女的重要信息的政策辩护。”“家长拥有指导子女成长和教育的基本权利。我们打算继续斗争,直到这些权利得到保护,”斯诺鲍补充道。

"This is a major victory, not just for Allison Roberts, but for every parent who has been told to stay quiet and leave these decisions to school officials," the statement continued. "But the fight is not over. The district continues to defend policies that allow school officials, under certain circumstances, to withhold important information from parents about their own children." "Parents have the fundamental right to direct their children’s upbringing and education. We intend to keep fighting until those rights are protected," Snowball added.

罗伯茨此前告诉福克斯新闻数字频道,她的法律行动得到了广泛支持。

Roberts previously told Fox News Digital that she had received widespread support for her legal efforts.

“看到来自我所在的波特兰当地社区,以及来自全国各地父母和祖父母的大力支持,我感到非常欣慰,”她说。“我从未想让事情发展到这一步。但我明白,我进行这场斗争不仅是为了我的家庭,也是为了数百万美国家庭,这让我确信提起这项诉讼是正确的做法。”

"It has been heartening to see the outpouring of support from my local Portland community, and from parents and grandparents across the country," she said. "I never wanted things to get to this point. But knowing that I'm fighting this battle not just for my family, but for millions of American families, reassures me that bringing this suit is the right thing to do."
