US Education Department investigates two NC school districts over transgender restroom policies

The U.S. Department of Education is investigating Buncombe County Schools and Cabarrus County Schools in North Carolina over their policies allowing transgender female students to use female restrooms. The investigations, based on a parent's complaint about 'biological men' sharing restrooms with girls, are part of the Trump administration's broader effort to apply Title IX to restrict transgender students' access to facilities and sports teams aligned with their gender identity.
