Defending Ed Objects to Judge’s Recommended Dismissal of Colorado “Preferred Pronoun” Case

Press Releases


In Defending Education’s litigation over Colorado’s unconstitutional “preferred pronoun” law, the magistrate judge recommended dismissing the case because Defending Education lacked associational standing and co-plaintiffs Protect Kids Colorado and Colorado Parent Advocacy Network lacked individual standing to challenge the state’s law.

On May 22, 2026, Defending Education filed its objections to the magistrate’s report and recommendation and looks forward to continuing to defend its members against Colorado’s unconstitutional abridgments of free speech in public accommodations.
