CPRC Takes Historic Fight to the Supreme Court: Join Us to Protect Parental Rights
The Fight for Parental Rights
The Child & Parental Rights Campaign (CPRC) has filed a historic petition for a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court in Littlejohn v. School Board of Leon County. This rare request—granted in only about 1% of cases—asks the Supreme Court to review a lower court’s ruling and could set a landmark precedent protecting every parent’s constitutional right to guide their child’s upbringing.
This is CPRC’s second Supreme Court petition challenging gender ideology in schools, alongside Foote v. Ludlow. If the Supreme Court hears and rules in our favor on one or both cases, it could transform how educational institutions nationwide handle gender identity, ensuring parents’ voices are not sidelined.
The Littlejohn Case
In 2020, Deerlake Middle School in Tallahassee, Florida, secretly created a “Student Support Plan” to affirm a 13-year-old’s gender identity, using a new name and pronouns without notifying or involving parents January and Jeffrey Littlejohn. This violation of their 14th Amendment rights, driven by a 2018 district policy, sparked a legal battle. Despite setbacks—a district court dismissal in December 2022 and a 2-1 11th Circuit ruling on March 12, 2025—CPRC is fighting on.
Why This Matters
The Littlejohn case challenges a growing trend of schools excluding parents from life-altering decisions about their children’s gender identity. Backed by 19 states and 16 law firms, our cert petition is a once-in-a-generation chance to stop school overreach and protect parental rights nationwide.
A Courageous Voice
January Littlejohn, a licensed mental health counselor and CPRC advocate, has become a national figure in this fight. Recognized by President Donald Trump as a “courageous advocate” during his March 4, 2025, congressional address, January said, “No parent should face what we did. This case is for every family fighting to protect their kids.”
The Stakes Are High
A Supreme Court ruling in Littlejohn or Foote v. Ludlow could reshape school policies across America, ensuring parents—not schools—have the final say on gender identity issues. With only ~80–100 cases accepted annually, our cert petition is a rare opportunity to make history.
