Parents Demand Opt-Out From Trans Teacher | Durham News

A law firm is demanding Wake County schools let parents remove their kids from a transgender teacher’s class at Middle Creek Elementary, citing religious freedom and opposing forced use of pronouns. The Thomas More Society gave the district 15 days to respond—or face legal action. Supporters say it’s about parental rights; critics call it censorship and claim the school is pushing a political agenda. Meanwhile, defenders of the teacher say she’s beloved by students and that the backlash mirrors past resistance to Black educators. The school hasn’t responded yet, leaving tensions high as this case underscores the broader clash over LGBTQ+ inclusion and parental authority in education.
