The U.S. Department of Education announced on Friday the conclusion of its investigation into five public school districts in northern Virginia, finding that they have broken federal civil rights law by basing access to purportedly sex-segregated facilities on students’ “gender identity” rather than their sex.
By allowing male students to access intimate female spaces such as restrooms and locker rooms, the Department alleges, the districts violated Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which prohibits sex discrimination in school or educational program that receives federal funding.
