US EditionTrump administration opens federal probe into Washington's transgender student policy
- The U.S. Departments of Education and Justice launched a federal investigation on April 30 into Washington state's Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction concerning its transgender student policies.
- The probe stems from reported violations of Title IX, FERPA, and PPRA related to gender-inclusive policies, including allowing male students in female restrooms and sports, and restricting parental notification.
- Washington has protected gender identity rights in schools since 2006, allowing students access to facilities and sports aligning with their gender identity, which OSPI enforces while threatening schools with funding loss.
- Education Secretary Linda McMahon called the investigation the first of its kind, warning that noncompliance could lead to loss of federal funds, while Superintendent Chris Reykdal affirmed continued enforcement of state laws until changed by Congress or courts.
- The investigation intensifies the conflict over transgender policies, highlighting disputes over parental rights and female athletic equality, and could influence similar probes in states like California and Maine.
