Trump administration undoes civil rights settlements that found discrimination against trans students

"The Education Department has begun terminating or rewriting settlements negotiated through its Office for Civil Rights, agreements that required schools to treat discrimination based on gender identity as a Title IX violation."

"One of the clearest examples is the Delaware Valley School District in Pennsylvania, where a federal investigation concluded that officials had failed to adequately respond to sex-based discrimination against a transgender student."

"The resulting agreement from 2016 defined gender-based discrimination as including bias tied to gender identity, gender expression, and transgender status, and required the district to ensure equal access to programs, activities, and facilities."

The 2016 agreement mandated the district to revise policies to include protections for gender identity and ensure equal access to educational programs and facilities.
