Feds launch Title IX probe into school that converted girls’ restroom to all-gender facilityThere are two restrooms on the second floor at East High School in Denver, one for boys and one that is “all-gender,” and the Trump administration has a problem with that.
The Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights announced a Title IX investigation Tuesday into Denver Public Schools for converting East’s girls’ restroom into an “all-gender” facility over winter break, leaving girls with no sex-exclusive facilities on the second floor.
“The alarming report that the Denver Public Schools District denied female students a restroom comparable with their male counterparts appears to directly violate the civil rights of the District’s female students,” Craig Trainor, acting assistant secretary for civil rights, said in a statement.
The office cited Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which requires schools that offer sex-separate facilities like bathrooms to ensure that “such facilities provided for students of one sex shall be comparable to such facilities provided for students of the other sex.”
The investigation may involve just one bathroom at one school in one state, but it represented an unmistakable national U-turn on transgender-rights policy under the Trump administration.
The Biden administration sought to erase distinctions between biological females and biological males who identify as female, by adding “gender identity” to Title IX, a hotly contested change that was vacated Jan. 9 by a federal judge.
Last week, President Trump signed an executive order banning the federal government from extending civil rights laws based on sex, including Title IX, to gender identity.
“Let me be clear: it is a new day in America, and under President Trump, OCR will not tolerate discrimination of any kind,” Mr. Trainor said. “I have directed OCR’s Denver regional office to investigate this matter fully.”
