Trump administration ends some civil rights settlements backing trans students

The Trump administration's Education Department announced it has terminated civil rights agreements with five school districts and one college that previously aimed to uphold protections for transgender students. This decision means the department will no longer enforce these agreements, which required schools to comply with federal civil rights law regarding trans students. The affected institutions span from California to Delaware, including Cape Henlopen school district and Taft College. The move reverses previous administrations' efforts to ensure compliance with civil rights statutes for transgender students. Consequently, the Education Department will cease its role in overseeing these specific agreements.
