In the never-ending fight against denials of religious liberty and of basic biology and anatomy, credit the Alliance Defending Freedom, a legal aid group, for another interim but important victory.

A federal district court in Kansas granted a preliminary injunction on May 9 in favor of Pamela Ricard, a middle school math teacher and Alliance Defending Freedom client, in her case against the Geary County Schools Board of Education concerning gender-identity communications. The school system has a policy requiring teachers to call students by personally “preferred” names and pronouns matching the gender each student “identifies” as but then requires that when teachers communicate with parents, they use the given name and original gender pronoun.
