As the transgender ideology remains on the back foot, the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals delivered another decisive victory: students in an Ohio school district will no longer be required to use classmates\u2019 preferred pronouns.\n<\/p>\n

Let the IFA community know how to pray for you.<\/h4>\n

From the Daily Wire:\n<\/p>\n

The\u00a0112-page ruling\u00a0smacks down a policy put into place by the Olentangy Local School District that punished students for discrimination by referring to trans-identifying classmates by their \u201cbiological pronouns\u201d or \u201cusing gendered language they know is contrary to the other student\u2019s identity.\u201d The district encompasses a suburban area just north of Columbus and is Ohio\u2019s fourth-largest.\n<\/p>\n

The court ruled that the policy raises \u201cserious free-speech concerns.\u201d The case was brought by the advocacy group Parents Defending Education \u2014 which now goes by Defending Education. The conservative group argued that the policy was unconstitutional and forced students to adopt speech that went against their religious beliefs. Numerous other conservative and religious groups, including Alliance Defending Freedom and the Manhattan Institute, signed an amicus brief opposing the school district\u2019s policy.\n<\/p>\n

In its ruling, the appeals court said that the school district \u201cintroduced no evidence that the use of biological pronouns would disrupt school functions or qualify as harassment under Ohio law.\u201d<\/p>\n

The court wrote that our society is currently engaged in debate over \u201cwhether biological pronouns are appropriate or offensive,\u201d noting that the \u201cschool district may not skew this debate by forcing one side to change the way it conveys its message or by compelling it to express a different view.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

This decision came on the same day that the Supreme Court ruled the Trump administration can require Americans to mark biological sex on their passports. Both rulings exemplify how the pendulum seems to have swung away from transgenderism. All across America, this ideology has been made to shrink away, hiding from the truth about biological sex that God wrote on our hearts.\n<\/p>\n

As victories against transgenderism continue, however, we should not become overly confident. The Bible tells us that Satan prowls about like a roaring lion, looking for people to devour (1 Peter 5:8). Though we may be winning against the deceptive lies of transgenderism right now, let\u2019s continue to remain vigilant in our prayers!\n<\/p>\n
