The Trump administration filed a novel lawsuit in Kansas on Tuesday, accusing Kansas City Public Schools of allowing a policy to stand that, if implemented, would allow children to “socially transition” at school to a gender identity other than their biological sex while withholding that information from parents.
The Justice Department called the case a “first-of-its-kind” lawsuit. The Department of Education is asking a court to block the school district’s internal transgender-student guidance — identified in the complaint as the district’s “Transgender Guidance” — which the government said violated federal laws protecting parents’ access to their children’s school records and requiring consent for certain sensitive student evaluations.
