DOJ investigates Kansas school districts over gender identity policies in sports and facilities.

The U.S. Department of Education is investigating four Kansas school districts over policies that allow students to use sports and intimate facilities based on gender identity rather than biological sex. The investigation, spurred by a complaint from the Defense of Freedom Institute, alleges violations of Title IX and FERPA. It focuses on the districts' handling of transgender student policies and their procedures for parental notification. Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach has supported the investigation, criticizing the districts for potential overreach.
