The Trump administration is terminating numerous civil rights settlements that ensure trans students’ rights to equal opportunity to an education.
The action is forcing schools to choose between federal orders and conflicting state laws.
The terminations are just the latest steps taken to enforce Trump’s executive order requiring the government only recognize a person’s sex assigned at birth.
From the New York Times:
The Trump administration has opened at least 40 civil rights investigations into educational institutions that provide protections for transgender students.
It has also sued state education departments and high school athletic associations in California and Minnesota over policies that permit transgender athletes to participate in school sports.
A total of 27 states have restricted the participation of transgender athletes in school sports.
Education Department officials said there was no precedent for the federal government terminating previously negotiated civil rights settlements with schools.
