Mother no longer banned from her kids’ elementary school after speaking out against LGBT lessons

October 30, 2026

Portland Public Schools (PPS) has agreed to withdraw a “Trespass Notice” barring a Christian parent from school grounds after she raised questions about the use of LGBT lessons at her children’s school.

The Christian Post reports that, under the terms of an order signed Monday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon, PPS revoke its order barring Allison Roberts from her children’s school, as well as a “Formal Warning” issued against her.

Under the agreement, the district will allow Roberts to “request for both her children an exemption from all LGBTQ2SIA+ curriculum and learning activities.”

The district also promises to notify Roberts if one or both of her children begin to experience gender dysphoria or identify as a member of the opposite sex.

Monday’s order comes two months after Roberts filed a complaint against PPS, Oregon’s largest school district and two of its administrators.

According to the Christian Post, Roberts was banned from her children’s school, Meriwether Lewis Elementary School, after she distributed a letter to other parents raising concerns about the inclusion of LGBT ideology in the curriculum.

The trespass order accused Roberts of engaging in “harmful, unlawful and/or disruptive behavior” while “threatening and intimidating members of the school community.”

Under Monday’s agreement, the district acknowledged Roberts’ First Amendment “right to peacefully distribute literature in a public forum such as a sidewalk and criticize PPS officials and policies.”

The district also committed to reviewing its harassment policy to ensure it complies with the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Liberty Justice Center attorney Timothy Snowball, stated: “This is a major victory, not just for Allison Roberts, but for every parent who has been told to stay quiet and leave these decisions to school officials.”
