Children's rights are the key to this issue. They should, in this case, come first, particularly during teen years in this case.
 

You think that the school should get to decide something contrary to a child's parents decision?

Was the teacher told to stop using the preferred name by the employer?

Whose the Nazi now?

Children aren't the property of their parents. Parents aren’t little Hitlers who get to impose their identity upon them. That's child abuse.

Considering the attitude of their own parents, the student was lucky to have a teacher who believed in them.

I pity the kids who don't.

I think a child, especially a teenager should get to decide something so benign as what name they go by, regardless of their parents' decision. It's the kid's name, not the parents'.

Especially in a demographic with such a high suicide rate. The law's consequences could be more suicides. Nothing good can come from it.
 
Florida is determined to become like Alabama….

You should have said that you were an expert on this family at the beginning.
Apparently, you have a great insight into this family and what they have gone through.

The issue here is about who has legal responsibility of the child... the parents or the school?

Bingo. Parents are the legal guardians, and should make the final decison except for things that are solely the responsibility of the state/school
I keep reading posters who say switchng gender pronoun ID is not a big thing. If so -then why not let the parents in on it?

I think it is a 'big thing' for schools to conspire with kids to keep parents in the dark about children's preferred gender ID.
I mean it's not just a lunch menu choice -it's about self identification

Parental rights trump children's rights. Parents have a primary responsibility to care for and protect children, absent parental abuse
 

This is just desperate.

Parents dictating to the child what their personal identity is is child abuse

You think it's fine for parents to dictate to their children their identities? Seriously? You think kids are little machines - parents fill in the data and the kids become their spitting image? Send them to gay conversion camps? Is this how you see raising children? Good Lord, man.
