"California is leading a multistate coalition in opposition to proposed federal changes that would halt the collection of data on bullying and harassment of transgender and nonbinary students. Attorney General Rob Bonta announced the multistate coalition this week in partnership with Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul and the attorneys general of Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington."
"Since he returned to office in January, President Donald Trump has made anti-transgender policies one of his administration's top priorities. He's signed executive orders recognizing only two sexes and prohibiting transgender athletes from participating in high school sports and has targeted California schools and leaders over policies protecting transgender students and athletes - opening several investigations and threatening school funding."
California is leading a multistate coalition opposing a Department of Education proposal that would stop collecting data on bullying and harassment of transgender and nonbinary students. The coalition includes attorneys general from numerous states and the District of Columbia. The proposal would remove "gender identity" and "sex characteristics" from the Office for Civil Rights' definitions of harassment and bullying on the basis of sex and cease data collection on harassment based on gender identity. Advocates warn that halting data collection will prevent tracking and addressing harassment and will likely worsen school climates for affected youth. The Trump administration has prioritized anti-transgender measures and limited support services for LGBTQ+ youth.
