Portland Public Schools, Oregon's largest district, has agreed to revoke an order banning mother Allison Roberts from her children's elementary school after she questioned its LGBT lessons.

Under an order signed Monday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon, the district will withdraw the "Trespass Notice" and "Formal Warning" issued against her, let her request an exemption for both children from all LGBTQ2SIA+ curriculum and activities, and notify her if either child begins to experience gender dysphoria or identify as the opposite sex.

The district also acknowledged her First Amendment right to peacefully distribute literature in public forums and criticize district officials, and committed to reviewing its harassment policy. The order came two months after Roberts filed a complaint.
