Summary
Portland Public Schools withdrew a one-year trespass order against Allison Roberts before a scheduled injunction hearing, restoring her access to campus events after barring her from her child’s graduation.
The district also agreed to exempt Roberts’ two children from certain LGBTQ2SIA+-related lessons and to review its nondiscrimination and anti-harassment policy, according to her lawyers.
Roberts sued in August after criticizing Meriwether Lewis Elementary’s intersex-inclusive Pride flag and an “identity flower” assignment that asked her 11-year-old to discuss gender identity with classmates and teachers.
Liberty Justice Center said the concessions came after a federal judge indicated the district’s actions were unconstitutional; Portland schools confirmed the trespass notice had been rescinded in mid-November.
A Dec. 1 hearing will still address broader district policies that Roberts’ legal team says let school staff withhold information from parents about their children.
