A recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling addressing parental rights in education has become part of an ongoing dispute between the La Center School District and the Washington State Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction over the district’s gender pronoun policy.

With the case still unfolding, Clark County Today is asking readers where they believe that responsibility should lie when issues of gender identity arise at school.
