The U.S. Department of Education found that four school districts in Kansas broke federal law by failing to inform parents that their children were undergoing “gender transitions.”
The agency announced on April 17 that the four schools — Kansas City, Kansas Public School District; Olathe Public Schools; Shawnee Mission School District; and Topeka Public Schools — violated the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972.
The Department of Education said in areleasethat the schools “had policies that were likely to prevent schools from notifying parents of their child’s so-called ‘gender transition,’ even if the parent requested their child’s records.”
Under the districts’ policies, the schools are permitted to “conceal from parents whether their children are using different pronouns, going by different names, or even having different names printed on their diplomas.”
Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Kimberly Richey said that “gender ideology” has been permitted to “run amok in their schools.”
“These policies not only violate federal law, but are contrary to the sound judgment we expect from our educational leaders, and thoroughly disrespectful to parents who entrust school personnel to keep their children safe,” she said.
These Kansas school districts have allowed ‘gender ideology’ to run amok in their schools, violating federal law.

“Schools should never subject girls to unsafe, uncomfortable, and unfair environments, nor should they abuse their authority by hiding the most sensitive information about a child’s health and wellbeing from that child’s parents,” the official added.
