District challenges state gender policy

Alleged incident in Kennewick School District · Washington

The Kennewick School District filed a federal complaint against Washington state officials regarding policies on transgender students and male participation in female sports. The district alleges these state mandates violate Title IX and could jeopardize federal funding. They also object to state-mandated changes that would exclude parents from discussions about their child's gender identity.
