The United States government announced on Tuesday that it will initiate legal action against the Kansas City school district in Kansas, citing its policies regarding transgender students. The Department of Education stated that the district's policy, which prohibits disclosing a student's transgender status, even to parents, violates the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. The Departments of Education and Justice will collaborate to take enforcement actions, including legal actions and the possibility of losing federal funds. The school district, which serves over 21,000 students, did not provide an immediate response to requests for comments. This situation arises in a context where Donald Trump previously attempted to cut federal funding for schools due to transgender policies, measures criticized by civil rights activists. On the same day, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed states to impose restrictions on transgender athletes.
