Overview
- Detroit Public Schools Community District, Godfrey-Lee Public Schools, and the Lansing School District are under investigation by the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division.
- Investigators will determine whether sexual orientation and gender ideology content appears in any pre-K–12 classes and whether parents were notified of opt-out rights.
- The reviews will assess whether access to bathrooms and locker rooms is limited by biological sex and whether those practices comply with federal law.
- Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon framed the move as protecting parental religious rights and ensuring single-sex facility access by biological sex under Title IX.
- The Civil Rights Division says it has reached no conclusions, and local outlets including FOX 2 Detroit reported the announcement as the probes begin.
