Three eighth-graders are being charged with sexual harassment by a Wisconsin school district for not using the preferred pronouns of a peer, according to a report from a local news outlet.
The Kiel Area School District (KASD) filed a Title IX complaint against three middle schoolers, according a Friday report from WLUK News. The district claims that its policies prohibit â€œall forms of bullying and harassment in accordance with all laws, including Title IX.â€
According to the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (WILL) â€” the organization representing the three students â€” the students are accused of using the biological pronouns of a student who uses â€œthey/themâ€ pronouns. WILL argues that this is â€œspeech protected by the First Amendmentâ€ and urged the district to drop the complaint.
