## Key points

- Portland schools withdrew a one-year ban on Allison Roberts.
- The change followed her lawsuit over school policies and curriculum.
- The district also agreed to review policies and grant some curriculum exemptions.

## Summary

Portland Public Schools rescinded a one-year trespass order against Oregon mother Allison Roberts, who had criticised the district’s gender-related curriculum and school policies. The decision followed her lawsuit and means she can return to campus and attend school events, including those involving her children.

Roberts objected to an “identity flower” assignment asking her 11-year-old to discuss gender identity, and to the repainting of a school rainbow flag as an “Intersex-Inclusive Progress” flag. The district had accused her of harassment after she distributed an open letter on a public sidewalk. According to her legal representatives, the district also agreed to exempt her children from some LGBTQ2SIA+-related curriculum requirements and review its nondiscrimination and anti-harassment policy; a further hearing on district policies was scheduled for 1 December.
