As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
The Department of Education is using National Parents’ Day to announce enforcement actions against school districts accused of hiding students’ gender transitions from parents. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon called the behavior “unconscionable” and promised to hold districts accountable. The Education Department is working with the Department of Justice to investigate FERPA violations. The investigations could result in federal funding being withheld from the schools.
