What the evidence shows
No evidence was produced of a U.S. school performing or arranging such surgery without parental consent. The examples supplied by the campaign concerned policies on names/pronouns or disclosure, not surgical care. Surgery requires medical facilities and consent processes; school nursing practice does not include transition surgery.
False. The cited school policies do not support the described events, and no documented case was identified.
