Community members accused the Mentor Public Schools Board of Education of trampling on parents' rights with a policy regarding students' name and pronoun changes.

On Aug. 31, Mentor Public Schools sent an email to teachers in grades 6-12 saying they don’t have to notify parents of a name or pronoun change if the student only requests it informally and does not ask for it to be changed in Google or the Infinite Campus parent portal.
"If a student shares with a teacher what preferred name they would like to be called, and the student does not want it changed in IC or Google, there really is no need to go any further," the email, obtained by Parents Defending Education (PDE) and shared exclusively with Fox News Digital, stated.
