    Basically a version of: “Mom sues school district for secretly using child’s preferred nickname.” – Parent’s don’t own their child’s identity.

    What is the standing here? How does this lady claim any form of harm?

      In the US, children are treated as property and that’s where standing will come from. This is what people mean when they refer to parent’s rights.
