https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/jeffco-public-schools-in-colorado>The Department of Education under the Trump administration, and Donald Trump himself, has been enormously successful at whipping institutions into compliance with executive fiat to discriminate against transgender people. Dozens of hospitals have ended gender-affirming care for transgender youth, nonprofits have dropped all mention of transgender people, Ivy League colleges have enacted numerous anti-trans policies, and newspapers and networks have bowed to his will as he has threatened to weaponize state apparatuses against their free reporting. One spot of resistance has emerged, however: public schools, with local school districts absolutely refusing to comply with the worst of Trump's demands. Now, Jeffco Public Schools in Colorado, the state's second-largest school district, has rejected the Department of Education's demands to discriminate against transgender students on bathrooms, sports and overnight trips, stating that the demands have "no basis" in law and declaring the district would continue to support equality.>According to Trump's Department of Education, Jeffco Public Schools allowing transgender students to use restrooms, attend overnight trips and play on teams with their friends is a "violation" of Title IX. The administration has taken the view that Title IX mandates discrimination rather than protects from it when it comes to transgender people. After launching an investigation—one of at least 18 similar probes nationwide—the administration quickly found Jeffco out of compliance in what appeared to be a politically motivated and predetermined process. The administration then sent a list of demands: institute a bathroom ban, a sports ban and a definition of sex that would require the exclusion of transgender students entirely, or face "imminent enforcement action.">Jeffco Public Schools immediately rejected the demands.
