Trump Administration Says California School Policy Violates Federal Law. The Trump administration says a California policy that limits what schools can share with parents about a student’s gender identity breaks federal law - According to Politico. Education Secretary Linda McMahon announced that a federal investigation found state officials pressured school districts to withhold information from families, calling it an abuse of authority. She said children belong to families, not the state, and warned California could be held accountable. California officials pushed back, arguing the law does not require schools to keep parents in the dark and does not override federal privacy rules. However, the findings could put nearly eight billion dollars in federal education funding at risk if the state does not comply. The dispute is also unfolding in court, as parents challenge the policy and seek Supreme Court intervention.
