Overview

  • America First Legal filed a complaint with the Education and Justice Departments seeking an investigation into Cox Mill High School for possible Title IX violations.
  • The complaint cites student testimony that a transgender classmate used the girls' locker room and restroom and stared at girls while they changed.
  • According to the filing, then-principal Chris Myers called the dispute too political and told girls who felt uncomfortable to go somewhere else, and he resigned days later.
  • Parents had raised similar concerns in 2024, and administrators at the time said the district had no specific policy and deferred to federal guidance on gender identity.
  • Cabarrus County Schools and the current principal did not respond to reporters, and the case is being advanced by America First Legal, a conservative group founded by Stephen Miller and featured in right-leaning coverage.
