Kathy McCord, a school counselor, was allegedly fired after she refused to go along with a transgender support plan. McCord and her lawyers are now suing.
In August 2021, SMSC adopted the "Gender Support Plan" which required district employees to use names and pronouns for students that do not align with their sex assigned at birth. Joshua Q. Nelson is a reporter for Fox News Digital.

South Madison counselors are required to use the Gender Support Plan form to document whenever a school started using a different name or pronouns for a student and to decide whether the school would notify a student’s parents.
