Trump DOJ Issues 7-Day Ultimatum to Maryland School District Over Transgender Policy Hiding Information from Parents

HyperFast News

Summary

The Trump administration's Justice Department has issued a seven-day ultimatum to a Maryland school district, demanding it cease policies that conceal student gender transitions from parents or face litigation. This action, led by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, challenges the Anne Arundel County school system's nondisclosure practices, arguing they violate federal education privacy law (FERPA). The DOJ and Department of Education have partnered to crack down on such policies, potentially withholding federal funds from districts that do not comply.
