Trump’s Education Department wants states to label more schools ‘persistently dangerous.’ Oregon hasn’t – and probably won’t
- The Trump administration launched Title IX investigations and lawsuits in states like Maine and Washington during its first months to limit transgender protections in schools.
- These actions respond to disputes over whether Title IX, a 1972 civil rights law banning sex discrimination in schools, applies to transgender students' gender identity.
- The administration enforces 2020 Education Department rules based on biological sex interpretation, which court rulings have temporarily blocked attempts by Biden to reinterpret Title IX more inclusively.
