Statement of ALITO, J.
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
JONATHAN LEE, ET AL. U. POUDRE SCHOOL DISTRICT R-1
ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT
No. 25-89. Decided October 14, 2025
The petition for a writ of certiorari is denied.
Statement of JUSTICE ALITO, with whom JUSTICE THOMAS and JUSTICE GORSUCH join, respecting the denial of certiorari.
I concur in the denial of certiorari because petitioners do not challenge the ground for the ruling below. But I remain concerned that some federal courts are "tempt[ed]" to avoid confronting a "particularly contentious constitutional ques-tion]": whether a school district violates parents' fundamental rights "when, without parental knowledge or con-sent, it encourages a student to transition to a new gender or assists in that process." Parents Protecting Our Chil-dren, UA v. Eau Claire Area School Dist., 604 U. S.
(2024) (ALITO, J., dissenting from denial of certio-rari) (slip op., at 1-2) (citing Troxel v. Granville, 530 U. S. 57, 70 (2000) (plurality opinion)). Petitioners tell us that nearly 6,000 public schools have policies-as respondent allegedly does-that purposefully interfere with parents' access to critical information about their children's gender-identity choices and school personnel's involvement in and influence on those choices. Pet. for Cert. 24. The trou-bling-and tragic-allegations in this case underscore the
"great and growing national importance" of the question that these parent petitioners present. Parents Protecting Our Children, 604 U.
