Five Virginia school districts, including Alexandria and Arlington, are facing the loss of federal funding for maintaining inclusive bathroom policies for transgender students. In response, President Trump signed an order requiring schools to exclude trans students from restrooms matching their identity. The Department of Education is carrying out the order, stating that the districts failed to comply with Title IX. The districts argue that their policies are in line with federal law that prohibits discrimination based on gender identity, while the Education Department claims they are discriminating against cisgender students.
The Department of Education has now followed through on that, denying any funding to those Virginia school districts that decline to change their policies.
The U.S. Department of Education generously granted an extension for five Northern Virginia School Districts to come into compliance with Title IX and follow federal law.
The Agency will commence Administrative proceedings to effect the suspension or termination of federal financial assistance to these divisions.
In July, EOD said that the five school districts were actually discriminating against cisgender students based on their sex.
