In his post, Henderson cited Proverbs 22:6, stating that parents are instructed to direct their children onto the right path and that, in his view, this parental prerogative was being challenged by state action. He emphasized that the parents were acting from faith and love in objecting to the reported transition, arguing that they were trying to guide their daughter in accordance with their religious beliefs.
The case centers on Algonquin Regional High School in Northborough, Massachusetts, where a school counselor allegedly transitioned the student socially without the parents’ knowledge or consent. After the parents objected to the use of a male name and male pronouns for their daughter, the counselor filed a report with the Department of Children and Families (DCF). State officials subsequently obtained full guardianship of the minor and issued a restraining order preventing contact between the parents and their daughter, including contact with her older brother. While allegations of physical abuse against the father were found to be unsubstantiated, DCF maintained state guardianship in the case.
The family recently won a temporary legal victory when a state judge granted an injunction prohibiting DCF from administering cross-sex hormone therapy to the minor while the litigation continues. Attorneys for the parents argued that medical interventions without parental consent could cause irreversible harm.
