Virginia school districts are suing the Trump administration over threats to cut federal funding related to policies on transgender students, asserting that the administration's stance conflicts with state laws and court rulings supporting transgender students' rights.
Five school districts in Northern Virginia face potential loss of federal funding after rejecting an agreement related to their transgender bathroom policies, which violate Title IX according to the Education Department. The districts, including Fairfax, Arlington, Alexandria, Loudoun, and Prince William, are now at high risk of funding suspension or termination, with over $50 million at stake.
