Feds Launch Investigation Into Minnesota Department of Education over Transgender Doll Claims
Federal officials say the probe follows a complaint that parents were not notified or allowed to opt out of activities involving the dolls.
- On Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Education announced an investigation into the Minnesota Department of Education over the alleged use of transgender dolls in schools, citing parent concerns about statutory rights.
- The inquiry follows a federal complaint filed by the nonprofit Defending Education, which alleged parents were not notified or given the opportunity to opt children out of activities using the dolls.
- Designed for children ages 4-10, the MyGender Dolls are a therapeutic tool from the University of Minnesota's Eli Coleman Institute for Sexual and Gender Health, intended for licensed clinicians rather than school implementation.
- Officials from the Minnesota governor's office and the University of Minnesota confirmed the dolls are not part of any state program, noting the project received no state or federal funding for commercialization.
- Secretary of Education Linda McMahon linked the dolls to perverted ideologies, arguing the initiative undermines parental authority; researchers confirmed the dolls will not be in public schools this year.
