A group of parents and school-board members are standing up to state Attorney General Letitia James and Education Commissioner Betty Rosa’s bullying of New Yorkers who won’t toe the line on gender insanity.
Yes: The deadly duo have ordered a de facto ban on dissent on trans issues from school board meetings.
On Tuesday, The Southeastern Legal Foundation filed a lawsuit on behalf of four Long Islanders (two school board officials, two parents) over that state “guidance.”
In May, James and Rosa sent out a letter threatening to remove local officials who misgender a student or even allow public comments suggesting that trans students’ “identities and experiences are illegitimate” or that their “presence in school spaces and participation in school activities is harmful to other students.”
No matter that most adults oppose, for example, forcing born-males into girls’ locker rooms and bathrooms, and into female sports leagues.
Nor that the growing consensus of experts is that the “science” supporting gender transitions for minors is bunk.

Shut up! argue James and Rosa: Adults with gripes, and kids with perfectly-well-grounded fears, must be shushed or run out of school board meetings.
Public meetings, mind you: No free speech in these democratic institutions.
It’s disgusting that New York’s top law-enforcement official and it’s No. 1 educrat would push such an obvious violation of basic American rights; we expect the federal courts to slap them both down in short order.
Too bad the feds can’t toss both these so-called public servants out of office completely.
