On Wednesday, the U.S. Education Department announced that transgender students were protected under Title IX’s federal law prohibiting sex-based discrimination, reversing Trump-era restrictions. Education Secretary Miguel A. Cardona stated, “Today, the Department makes clear that all students — including LGBTQ+ students — deserve the opportunity to learn and thrive in schools that are free from discrimination.” The move follows last year’s Supreme Court ruling that the Civil Rights Act extended to protections for gay and transgender people. The reporting and investigative process under the Office for Civil Rights will remain the same for individual cases.
