(The Center Square) — A conservative group is urging the U.S. Supreme Court to take up the case of a Maine mother who says her 13-year-old daughter was "secretly" advised by a school social worker to begin gender transitioning. 

In a petition to the high court, attorneys for the Arizona-based Goldwater Institute ask justices to consider a lawsuit filed by Amber Lavigne, who claims the Great Salt Bay Community School a guidance counselor encouraged her 13-year-old to wear a chest binder and use a different name and pronouns at school, without consulting her. Federal courts previously rejected her 2023 lawsuit.
