Public schools and colleges that receive federal funding – which is nearly all of them – now find themselves caught between new state laws banning abortion and stripping the rights of students who are transgender and nonbinary and a federal law that bans sex-based discrimination in schools.
The Education Department is warning schools that some of the state laws local officials must uphold conflict with their legal obligations to Title IX, the federal law that prohibits sex-based discrimination. Student protestors and other groups have come out in droves to protest state-level action in Virginia, Idaho and Florida that may violate the federal law.
