A New Jersey father is suing his daughter’s school for allegedly helping 
her “transition” to the opposite gender without his knowledge.

This case is similar to many that have cropped up over recent years after 
several school districts were exposed for having policies allowing 
teachers and school staff to keep parents in the dark about their 
children’s gender confusion.

Christin Heaps alleges in his lawsuit that the Delaware Valley Regional 
High School Board of Education socially transitioned his daughter. Social 
transitions involve changing one’s pronouns, names, and clothing to 
reflect that of the opposite gender.

These actions violated Heaps’ constitutional rights as a parent, the 
lawsuit argues.

The lawsuit alleges that school counselor Ashley Miranda began helping 
Heaps’ daughter socially transition after attending a meeting of the SAFE 
club, which is aimed at creating safe spaces for LGBTQ students. The 
daughter allegedly stated that she wished to be a boy.

“Miranda immediately affirmed Jane’s expressed identity and began to 
facilitate Jane’s social transition,” the lawsuit reads, referring to 
Heaps’ daughter as “Jane.” The complaint alleges that the counselor did 
this without consulting Jane’s medical history or asking whether she was 
receiving therapy. The father had placed her in therapeutic care after the 
death of her mother.

However, it didn’t stop there. The counselor allegedly informed school 
staff members that Jane had changed her name and pronouns and instructed 
them to keep this from her father. Heaps did not find out about his 
daughter’s issues until another parent referred to her by her new name. 

“Only after Mr. Doe inquired of the parent why the parent was calling Jane 
by a boy’s name, the parent explained to Mr. Doe that Jane was being 
called by such name at school since she was being socially transitioned,” 
the lawsuit explains.

Jane had been diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder 
(ADHD) and Unspecified Mental Disorder (UMD). She was receiving therapy 
for gender confusion, depression, and anxiety. The lawsuit noted that 
“such social transitioning was causing depression and anxiety in Mr. Doe’s 
daughter and otherwise was interfering with the therapy that pre-existed 
the daughter’s social transitioning in school.”

The lawsuit further noted that the counselor “indicated that she was not 
aware of Jane’s ADHD and UMD diagnoses or her past trauma when she 
facilitated Jane’s social transition.” Miranda also stated that she was 
unaware that Jane was receiving therapy for her other conditions.

The lawsuit argues that the school district and the State of New Jersey 
violated Heaps’ rights under the 14th Amendment. The government’s policy 
“constitute deliberate interference with Mr. Doe’s fundamental 
constitutional right to direct the upbringing of his child.”

Heaps is now homeschooling his daughter, who no longer wishes to 
transition to the opposite sex. The lawsuit aims to strike down the state 
policy requiring schools to conceal children’s issues with gender 
dysphoria from parents. 

Predictably, the progressive crowd isn’t happy about the lawsuit. Aaran 
Potenza, a policy consultant for LGBTQ rights group Garden State Equality, 
told the New Jersey Monitor that this development is “deeply troubling.” 

“You’re talking about kids who are vulnerable, coming out to a trusted 
adult about something very personal, telling that trusted adult, ‘I don’t 
feel safe around this issue with my family. I’m not ready to come out to 
my family,’” he said.

A lower court ruled against Heaps’ original lawsuit. But now, he is 
appealing the ruling with the help of Alliance Defending Freedom. 

Progressives adhere to the notion that children belong to the state, not 
to their parents. This is why they have no problem using government-run 
schools to force their ideology on students without the knowledge and 
consent of parents. Hopefully, the appeals court will make the right 
ruling. Government-run schools have no business trying to usurp the role 
of parents to promote far-leftist ideas on sexuality and gender.
