This decision eliminates federal obligations for schools to respect a student&#8217;s preferred name and pronouns. It also rolls back requirements allowing students to use bathrooms that align with their gender identity. The move marks a clear departure from the civil rights interpretations upheld by previous administrations. Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Kimberly Richey defended the move, stating it removes &#8220;unlawful burdens&#8221; and counters what she termed a &#8220;radical transgender agenda.&#8221; While some affected districts, like Delaware Valley in Pennsylvania, have already voted to roll back their protections, others, such as Sacramento City Unified, remain committed to supporting their LGBTQ+ students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> April 7, 2026. <strong>Source<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-education-transgender-student-d4f00994daa64a68f557de5f98ec7d94\">apnews.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Education Department has terminated agreements with five school districts and a college that were originally designed to protect transgender students.
