This amicus brief filed in the Sixth Circuit case State of Tennessee, et al. v. Miguel Cardona, et al. (No. 24-5588), was submitted by the Child & Parental Rights Campaign, Inc. (CPRC), with Mary E. McAlister, Vernadette R. Broyles, Ernest G. Trakas, and Athina M. Giouvalakis as counsel, supporting plaintiffs-appellees Tennessee and intervenors like the Christian Educators Association International in seeking affirmation of the district court’s ruling. The brief likely defends Tennessee’s challenge to the U.S. Department of Education’s 2024 Title IX regulations, which redefine sex discrimination to include gender identity, arguing that such federal rules infringe on state sovereignty and parental rights, a key focus of CPRC’s advocacy. CPRC’s involvement emphasizes its opposition to mandatory gender identity policies in schools, aligning with the plaintiffs’ claim that the regulations exceed federal authority and undermine local control over education.

This amicus brief, filed in the U.S. Supreme Court case Tamer Mahmoud, et al. v. Thomas W. Taylor, et al. (No. 24-297), was submitted by Our Duty–USA and Partners for Ethical Care, with legal support from Mary E. McAlister and Vernadette R. Broyles of the Child & Parental Rights Campaign (CPRC), advocating for petitioners seeking reversal of a Fourth Circuit ruling. The brief likely supports the petitioners—parents including Tamer Mahmoud—who challenge the Montgomery County, Maryland, school board’s policy of mandating LGBTQ-themed storybooks in the curriculum without opt-out options, arguing it violates their First Amendment free exercise rights to direct their children’s religious upbringing. CPRC’s involvement, through its counsel, emphasizes its commitment to defending parental rights and opposing what it views as coercive gender ideology in schools, aligning with the brief’s push to reinstate parental notification and opt-out accommodations.

This amicus brief filed in the Tenth Circuit case State of Kansas, et al. v. United States Department of Education, et al. (No. 24-3097), was submitted by the Child & Parental Rights Campaign, Inc. (CPRC), with Mary E. McAlister, Vernadette R. Broyles, Ernest G. Trakas, and Athina M. Giouvalakis as counsel, supporting plaintiffs-appellees including Kansas in seeking affirmation of a district court ruling. The brief likely defends Kansas’s challenge to the U.S. Department of Education’s 2024 Title IX regulations, which expand sex discrimination to include gender identity, arguing that such federal overreach undermines state authority and parental rights to control children’s education and upbringing, a core CPRC priority. CPRC’s involvement reinforces its stance against policies mandating gender identity accommodations in schools, aligning with the plaintiffs’ claim that the regulations exceed statutory authority and violate constitutional principles.
