Here we go again! Outrageous accusations to grab headlines and rally their base... see we are doing something but it is the "liberal" courts that strike us down!
MassLiveBy Susannah SudboroughSep. 17, 2026The Trump administration announced Thursday that it is investigating allegations that Northborough-Southborough school officials facilitated a student’s “social” gender transition without the consent or knowledge of the teen’s parents.The student’s parents, Joseph and Arlene Kutzko, claim their child, a former Algonquin Regional High School student, attended after-school counseling sessions supporting a gender transition, according to the Department of Education (DOE). The Kutzkos were not informed of the sessions and were under the impression the student, who is a minor, was receiving extra schooling for a math class.The Kutzkos also claim that school staff began using a male name and pronouns to refer to the student without the parents’ knowledge, federal officials said.The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education advises schools to refer to students by their chosen gender identity, and to make a plan with the student regarding when and how to inform their parents of the student’s gender identity. This policy has also been supported by federal courts.
But not by Trump & Company.
One question is when is a child old enough to make decisions on their own? Another is when is a child old enough to reject their parent's religion?
Catholic HeraldChristine RousselleSept. 17, 2026The US Department of Education is investigating a school district in Massachusetts after the district allegedly enabled a child’s gender transition without notifying her parents.“Today, the US Department of Education’s (the Department’s) Student Privacy Policy Office (SPPO) launched an investigation into The Public Schools of Northborough and Southborough in Massachusetts to determine whether the school district violated the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA) and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) after reports that school officials allegedly facilitated the ‘gender transition’ of a minor student without parents’ knowledge or consent,” said a September 17 press release from the Department of Education.“Parents have a right to know what is happening with their children at school, particularly when it concerns deeply personal matters involving their health and wellbeing,” said Frank Miller, Director of the Student Privacy Policy Office, in the press release.
Open and shut case according to them... right? Well lets jump back to the MassLive article.
At the beginning of last year, DCF removed the student from their parents’ home, WBUR reported. On Tuesday, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey told reporters at an unrelated event that DCF removed the child from their parents’ home after criminal charges were filed against the Kutzkos. Healey declined to comment on whether DCF was helping the child transition genders.Federal officials said the school district’s actions may violate FERPA, a federal law that requires parent access and limited control over their children’s school records. Federal investigators are also investigating whether the district violated a federal law known as PPRA, which requires schools to obtain written consent from parents before looking into the student or their family regarding sensitive subjects, including mental health and sex behaviors and attitudes.
So to throw a monkey wrench into the mix... the parents are not the guardians of the child.
In January 2025, Joseph Kutzko was charged after prosecutors say he punched his then-15-year-old child in the shoulder, pulled his child’s hair and threatened to kill his child “for not singing in tune during a birthday celebration,” according to court records. He was arrested and pleaded not guilty in Westborough District Court.Arlene Kutzko was charged with witness intimidation after prosecutors say she pressured her child to “tell the school that she was exaggerating and being stupid” the same month, according to court records.In December 2025, a judge dismissed the charges against Joseph Kutzko under conditions, including that he attend an anger management class, stay away from his child and abide by a restraining order, court records indicate. Arlene Kutzko’s case was also dismissed after she agreed to stay away from her child and abide by a restraining order. The conditions for both parents expire in December.
We don't know if it was "Beat the gay" out of the child or not, but whatever the reason the fed seem to have a very weak case.
