The Trump administration is threatening action against a Maryland county after parents alleged their child was transitioned behind their backs. Parents sued Anne Arundel County Public Schools on July 8, alleging that unidentified high school staff secretly “socially transitioned” their child. The Departments of Justice and Education issued a joint statement — entitled "Trump Administration Cracks Down on School Districts Secretly 'Transitioning' Students and Hiding it from Parents" — accusing the school district of violating parental rights. The DOJ and Education Department allege the Maryland school denied parents records access relevant to their child’s supposed social transition. "Let this serve as notice to every school district in the country: FERPA is not optional,” Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon told Blaze News.
