Trump Admin Slashes Funds to Schools Defying Law

The Trump administration is standing strong for truth, science, and the safety of our children. Five school districts in Northern Virginia have decided to ignore common sense and the law by letting students choose bathrooms and locker rooms based on “gender identity” instead of biological sex. These schools—located in Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William counties—have refused to change their harmful policies. Now, the Department of Education is doing the right thing by moving to cut their federal funding.

Let’s be clear about what’s at stake here. Title IX was passed in 1972 to protect girls and women from sex-based discrimination in education. That law was meant to ensure that women had equal opportunities in school, sports, and beyond. It was never meant to allow biological males into female restrooms, locker rooms, or sports teams. But radical activists have twisted the meaning of Title IX to push an agenda that ignores biological reality and puts our daughters at risk.

The Trump administration is restoring the true meaning of Title IX. After properly investigating the five Virginia school districts, the Department of Education found they were violating Title IX by allowing boys who claim to be girls into spaces meant for females. The Department gave the schools extra time to fix their policies. But instead of fixing the problem, the schools doubled down on their dangerous stance.

Loudoun County was the first to dig in its heels. Its school board voted 6-3 to keep a policy that lets students use restrooms and locker rooms based on how they feel about their gender. This is not only unscientific—it is unsafe. Investigations have shown that girls in these schools avoid using the bathroom altogether, afraid of who might be in there. There have even been reports of inappropriate behavior and sexual misconduct in these supposedly “inclusive” spaces.

This is not about discrimination. It’s about protecting the privacy, safety, and rights of all students—especially young girls who deserve to feel safe in school. The Trump administration’s message is simple: follow the law, respect biology, and keep ideology out of the classroom.

Some of the school districts are trying to delay the issue, saying we should wait for the courts to decide. But justice delayed is justice denied. Every day that these policies stay in place is another day our children are exposed to confusion, fear, and possible danger. The Department of Education has made it clear: schools that want federal money must follow federal law, and that means separating intimate spaces based on biological sex—not feelings.

To the people who claim this is about erasing transgender students—nothing could be further from the truth. Every student deserves dignity. But dignity is not the same as demanding that everyone else ignore science and biology. The law must protect all students, not just a loud few. When we allow ideology to replace facts, we don’t help anyone—we only create chaos.

President Trump and his administration are doing what past leaders failed to do: standing up to radical gender theory and standing for our daughters. They are saying enough is enough. Schools cannot place political agendas above the well-being of our children and then expect taxpayer dollars to keep flowing.

This is a victory for parents, for truth, and for the Constitution. The federal government has a duty to ensure that its money is not used to promote policies that harm students and violate the law. And states and school districts have a choice: respect the law or lose the funding.

We must keep fighting to protect our children from this dangerous social experiment. Biology is not bigotry. Truth is not hate. And standing up for girls’ rights is not discrimination—it is justice. Let us stand with the Trump administration and demand that our schools return to sanity, safety, and the rule of law.
