PORTLAND, Ore. – Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys filed their opening brief in Theis v. InterMountain Education Service District Board of Directors with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. ADF attorneys represent a licensed clinical social worker who was ordered by the InterMountain Education Service District to remove the children’s books “He Is He,” “She Is She,” and “Johnny the Walrus” from behind his office desk.

ADF Vice President of Appellate Advocacy John Bursch:  “Women and girls deserve to compete on a level playing field. But activists continue their quest to erase differences between men and women by forcing schools to allow men to compete in women’s sports. This contradicts biological reality and common sense. That’s why we are pleased the district court rejected the attempt to end this case before it is argued before the U.S. Supreme Court….”

LAFAYETTE, La. – The state of Louisiana, together with attorneys from Alliance Defending Freedom, filed a federal lawsuit against the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for enabling pro-abortion activists and doctors to mail streams of high-risk abortion drugs into states that protect the lives of unborn babies.
