An eight-year-old boy is suing his private school for “discrimination” after the institution refused to use female pronouns or allow the third-grader to wear a girl’s uniform to class. A lawsuit was filed Wednesday in Orange County Superior Court.

In 2016, Nikki Shah-Brar told his parents he identified as a girl: “I’m a girl. I want to be called a girl,” he reportedly told them. Priya Shah and Jaspret Brar capitulated to their child’s gender confusion and informed Heritage Oak Private Education that their son would enter third grade as a girl. After the private school allegedly provided “roadblocks” to Nikki’s transition, the family decided to sue.
