Summary
Courtney Richardson, a science teacher in Kansas City, Kansas, said she will keep using students’ preferred names and pronouns despite a federal investigation into her district’s gender-identity policies.
The Trump administration earlier this month said Kansas City Kansas Public Schools could face enforcement action, including loss of federal funds, because staff are not required to inform parents when a student identifies as transgender.
The Education Department says that policy violates the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and is working with the Justice Department on possible litigation and other penalties.
Linda McMahon cast the Kansas case as part of a broader parental-rights push, citing Justice Department investigations in Maryland, Michigan and Vermont over alleged concealment from parents and gender-related school practices.
