The Trump administration’s Department of Education is investigating the Denver Public Schools, for converting a girls’ restroom at a high school into an ‘all-gender’ facility.
The announcement of the investigation was made in a press release on the Education Department’s website on Tuesday.
Below is the full press release:
The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) today announced an investigation into the Denver Public Schools District for discriminating against its female students by converting a female restroom into an all-gender restroom in its largest high school. As a result, East High School now has an exclusive restroom for male students and no restroom for female students on its second floor.
Title IX of the Education Amendment of 1972 and its implementing regulations are clear: A recipient of federal funds, like the district, “may provide separate toilet, locker room, and shower facilities on the basis of sex, but such facilities provided for students of one sex shall be comparable to such facilities provided for students of the other sex.”
“The alarming report that the Denver Public Schools District denied female students a restroom comparable with their male counterparts appears to directly violate the civil rights of the District’s female students,” said Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Craig Trainor. “Let me be clear: it is a new day in America, and under President Trump, OCR will not tolerate discrimination of any kind. I have directed OCR’s Denver regional office to investigate this matter fully.”
