Schools Face Funding Threat Over Trans Policies | US News

The U.S. Education Department is investigating two school districts—Ann Arbor, Michigan, and Anne Arundel County, Maryland—for alleged violations of federal law regarding transgender student policies, threatening potential loss of federal funding. Ann Arbor faces scrutiny over a policy reportedly requiring staff to conceal a student’s transgender status from parents, while Anne Arundel says it only learned of the probe through a public announcement and plans to review any materials. Ann Arbor has until August 10 to respond. These actions align with broader executive moves defining sex as binary, sparking backlash from civil rights groups over academic freedom and free speech, following past funding cuts tied to climate and diversity initiatives.
