Trump Administration Scrubs Data on Gender-Based Bullying From School Civil Rights Survey

The release includes 37 files, but federal officials removed gender identity details and the nonbinary category from the school civil rights survey.

  • The Education Department quietly released the 2023-24 Civil Rights Data Collection this week, but suppressed all information regarding nonbinary students and bullying based on gender identity throughout the 37 files.
  • President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order on his inauguration day defining sex as only male or female, prompting the suppression and aligning with the administration's broader efforts to target protections for transgender and nonbinary students.
  • An Associated Press analysis revealed that numbers in gender identity columns were replaced with codes indicating "Suppressed in Compliance with Executive Order," while the agency released data without the usual "First Look Report."
  • Ivy Morgan, director of research and data at EdTrust, warned the lack of transparency erodes public trust, citing the administration's "pattern of attacking research, data and evidence" regarding marginalized student experiences.
  • The Williams Institute at the UCLA School identified around 360 instances where the administration removed sexual orientation or gender identity information from federal data collections, ranging from Medicare surveys to homeless youth data.
