US sues Kansas school district for aiding transgender students' transitions
The lawsuit says the district’s guidelines let staff create gender-transition plans and withhold them from parents, violating federal privacy laws.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump's administration filed a lawsuit against KCKPS, alleging the district facilitates secret gender transitioning plans for students without parental knowledge or consent.
- The Justice Department began investigating the district in August 2025, determining in July that KCKPS violated FERPA and the Privacy Act by barring parental access to student records.
- Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, head of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, stated the department will not tolerate districts "playing fast and loose with federal law" in service of gender ideology.
- KCKPS denied the allegations, stating it remains "in full compliance with FERPA and PPRA" and is disappointed by the DOJ's decision to file the lawsuit.
- Trump has threatened public school funding cuts over transgender policies, though this is the first lawsuit specifically accusing schools of aiding transitions without parental consent.
