Trump administration threatens to cut funding over school districts' transgender policies
The U.S. Education Department, in partnership with the Department of Justice, is threatening to cut federal funding to two school districts in Maryland and Michigan. The action targets policies that protect information about students' gender identity from being disclosed to parents. The Education Department's Student Privacy Policy Office (SPPO) announced the move, escalating a federal crackdown on school policies that limit parental notification regarding transgender students. This represents a significant intervention by the Trump administration into local education policy, using funding as leverage to enforce parental rights over gender identity issues in schools.
