The Trump administration is investigating the Maine Department of Education for alleged violations of federal law stemming from schools allegedly implementing policies that hide children’s gender identity from their parents.

The alleged violations of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act involve districts allowing schools to create “gender plans” to support a student’s transgender identity while withholding related records by claiming they are protected as education records under FERPA.
