DOJ Sues Anne Arundel County Schools over Gender Identity Policy
The Justice Department says district policies kept parents in the dark about students’ gender identity and withheld education records, alleging violations of federal privacy laws.
- On Tuesday, the Justice Department sued Anne Arundel County Public Schools, alleging the district violates federal law by "secretly" facilitating gender transitions without parental consent or knowledge.
- According to the federal complaint, district policies direct staff to document a student's self-identified name and pronouns while withholding this information from parents, prompting the federal action.
- In one instance, the district allegedly refused to provide education records to parents after staff referred to their daughter using a male name that "didn't match her legal name or sex."
- AACPS "disagrees with the allegations and stands by its compliance with FERPA and PPRA," saying it found the Justice Department's decision to pursue litigation "regrettable" despite ongoing good-faith contact.
- President Donald Trump's administration has targeted educational institutions over transgender policies, climate initiatives, and pro-Palestinian protests, raising broader concerns about academic freedom and due process.
