Trump Admin Investigating Kansas Schools Due to Transgender Policies
The Education Department said these policies possibly violate Title IX and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
The Department of Education announced an investigation into four Kansas school districts over alleged transgender policies.
The districts are Topeka Public Schools, Shawnee Public Schools, Olathe Public Schools, and Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools
A complaint filed by the Defense of Freedom Institute (DFI) claimed the districts allow students to use single-sex rooms and play sports based on their “gender identity” and ban teachers from telling parents if their child identifies as transgender.
The department said these policies possibly violate Title IX and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
“The Kansas districts’ alleged behavior of allowing gender ideology to run amok in their schools is an affront not only to the law, but to the sound judgment we expect from our educational leaders. School personnel should not confuse and unsettle young girls by forcing them to share sex-separated sports and intimate facilities with boys; nor should school personnel abuse their position of authority by hiding sensitive information pertaining to a child’s health and wellbeing from that child’s parents,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon. “From day one, the Trump Administration promised to protect students and parents by restoring Title IX and parental rights laws to the fullest extent of the law. My offices will vigorously investigate these matters to ensure these practices come to an end.”
Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach also asked for an investigation.
“Title IX was enacted to protect the rights of girls to equal educational opportunity and safety. Kansas had to sue and defeat the Biden Administration in federal court to stop them from dismantling Title IX,” said Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach. “I am grateful that we now have a federal government that takes Title IX seriously and will ensure that school districts follow the law.”
On August 14, Kobach warned lawmakers that violations could lead to the schools not receiving federal funds.
The school districts released the same old statements, promising they work with parents and keep them involved in their child’s education.
Trump signed an executive order protecting female sports and spaces.
Trump’s administration threw out the former President Joe Biden’s administration’s awful rewrite of Title IX, giving males a pass to play in female sports and use female spaces.

What did Dorthy say to the transgender scarecrow who tried to take out stuffing in front of the cowardly lion? Put that back, we’re not in Kansas anymore.
“I dreamed I went to the little girls’ room. But it wasn’t a dream. It was a place… and you, and you. and you… and you were there. But you couldn’t have been, could you?”
Kansas?
Dear God
I grew up in kansas, I know three of I know three of those School districts. This doesn’t surprise me
Kansas has pockets of blue. Kansas City, Topeka and Lawrence. Common thread for all three they are college towns.
nothing satisfies lefty more than loping off body parts
We should run a special on heads.
The Shawnee Mission School District not the Shawnee School District.
Please do LA Unified next. Please, please, please.
Everything’s up to date in Kansas City.
They’ve gone about as far as they can go.
And state law passed in in 2023 (?) outlawing high school boys in girls sports. Many rural school districts are woke and arrogant as well
