(April 24, 2026): Southeastern Legal Foundation’s (SLF) Kimberly Hermann joins Sean Hannity to discuss how unlawful school policies are putting student privacy and free speech at risk. For too long now, school districts across the country have let gender ideology run amok in schools. One Kansas school district, Shawnee Mission, even forced first grade girls to share bathrooms with biological boys, causing one first grader severe emotional distress. After SLF sounded the alarm, the Department of Education issued findings that the school district, along with three others in Kansas, violated Title IX by letting students use whatever bathroom or locker room they “identified” with.

SLF explains, “the school district is still digging in and saying fine, we won’t do it for now, but if a court says otherwise…we’re going to go right back to doing this. It’s really shocking how dug in some of these schools are to violating our girls’ privacy rights.”

This really comes down to schools trying to displace parents as the primary caregivers of their children, with no signs of them letting up in K-12 schools or on college campuses.

And when individuals try to speak out, whether parents, students, or Title IX advocates like Riley Gaines, “They say that if you want to say anything conservative-leaning, if you want to speak truth, if you want to even just say what the law is in this situation, that you are discriminating, that you are harassing, and that you are bullying. And so they are creating that environment on campuses that really is truly very dangerous as we sadly saw last year [with Charlie Kirk’s assassination], and that is trickling down to K-12.”

SLF continues, “Our clients’ first grade student is being shamed for not wanting to share a bathroom stall next to a boy also going to the bathroom. She is being told that this is wrong, that she should feel differently, and that if she wants privacy, she should miss class and go all the way across campus to go to a different bathroom.”

“Thank goodness there are people like you at Southeastern Legal that are out there fighting every day,” concludes Hannity.
