After being banned and allegedly facing reprisals over her opposition to gender curriculum, a mother sued the Portland Public Schools and her children’s elementary school.
On Wednesday, Allison Roberts filed a lawsuit, according to a story by Fox News.
The Liberty Justice Center, which filed the lawsuit on behalf of Roberts, claims she at first was concerned last year over Meriwether Lewis Elementary School’s decision to repaint its traditional rainbow pride flag into an “Intersex-Inclusive Progress” variant to include support for racial and transgender ideology.
Roberts supported “being immersed” in Portland’s gay community, but she believed that the new flag was “an overtly political symbol that promotes values contradictory to her Christian faith,” concretely due to its support of transgenderism.
In another instance, Roberts discovered an “identity flower” assignment given to her 11-year-old child that asked students to reveal and talk about their gender identity with classmates and teachers.
Roberts contends she did not receive prior notice of this assignment and requested a meeting with the school’s principal. After receiving what she described as an unsatisfactory response from the school, Roberts wrote an open letter to the community against the school’s policies, which she distributed on a public sidewalk outside school property.

Roberts contends she was given a one-year trespass order after a heated exchange with another parent, barring her from attending school events, including her child’s graduation ceremony. When she reached out to the school for clarification, Roberts was reportedly told that it was a result of engaging in “harassment, intimidation, and threatening behavior” as part of a pattern of “animus and harassment targeting vulnerable members of [the] community.”
Looking to prevent other instances like Roberts in the future, Timothy R. Snowball, senior counsel at Liberty Justice Center, told Fox News Digital that the organization also aims to have an injunction issued against the school’s current harassment policy.
