The Education Department says it has terminated agreements that previous administrations reached with five school districts and a college aimed at upholding rights and protections for transgender students. The decision Monday means the department will no longer play a role in enforcing those agreements, which called for schools to take steps to comply with federal civil rights law. Under the Biden and Obama administrations, the department interpreted civil rights law to protect transgender students’ rights to equal opportunity to an education. The Trump administration has penalized schools that have made efforts to accommodate students based on their gender identity.
