In Defending Education’s lawsuit against Colorado’s unconstitutional “preferred pronoun” law, a magistrate judge recommended dismissing the case. The judge found that Defending Education lacked associational standing (the right to sue on behalf of its members) and that co-plaintiffs Protect Kids Colorado and Colorado Parent Advocacy Network lacked standing to challenge the law on their own behalf.
On May 22, 2026, Defending Education (DE) filed its objections to the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation. DE looks forward to continuing to defend its members against Colorado’s unconstitutional limits on free speech in public places.
