From the article: "COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A federal appeals court in Cincinnati will hear arguments Wednesday in a legal dispute that pits a suburban Ohio school district’s gender pronoun policy against the free speech rights of classmates who believe there are only two genders.
"The lawsuit brought by Parents Defending Education, a national membership organization, against the Olentangy Local School District in 2023 has captured broad national attention from groups ranging from the American Civil Liberties Union to the conservative Manhattan Institute. Ohio’s solicitor general has asked to participate in oral arguments on behalf of 22 U.S. states that have interests in the case."

Dispute between parents' group, Ohio school district over gender pronoun policy goes before judges
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati is hearing arguments in a lawsuit pitting a suburban Ohio school district’s policy on preferred pronouns against the free speech rights of classmates who believe there are only two genders. The suit brought by Parents Defending Education, a national Christian organization, against the Olentangy Local School District in 2023 has captured national attention. A lower court rejected the group’s arguments that the policies violate students’ First Amendment free speech rights and similar rights, and a three-judge panel affirmed that decision in July. The 6th Circuit meets en banc Wednesday to reconsider that decision.
