The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights is investigating whether the controversial policy discriminates against students on the bases of sex and disability. The policy requires district administrators to notify students’ parents or guardians if they identify themselves as transgender or ask to be addressed by pronouns that do not align with their gender at birth, while allowing teachers to refuse such requests.
A recent Katy ISD graduate said they filed a formal complaint with the U.S. Department of Education over the Houston-area school district’s new gender fluidity policy, alleging it discriminates against queer and transgender students.
