Trump Admin Revokes Protections For Trans Students

The New York Times reports: 

The Trump administration on Monday will terminate multiple civil rights settlements aimed at ensuring transgender students’ rights to equal opportunity to an education, forcing school officials to choose whether to comply with the government’s interpretation of federal anti-discrimination laws or to abide by conflicting state statutes.

The terminations, described by three Education Department officials briefed on the changes, are an escalation of the administration’s efforts to enforce President Trump’s executive order that the government recognize only a person’s sex assigned at birth.

The actions show how the administration’s campaign to erase diversity, equity and inclusion policies has sharpened to root out specific civil rights protections, particularly for students participating in school programs or activities based on their gender identity instead of their biological sex.

Education Department officials said there was no precedent for the federal government terminating previously negotiated civil rights settlements with schools. Civil rights lawyers who worked under Democratic and Republican administrations said they were unaware of previous examples of such a move.
