The Office of Civil Rights of the United States Department of Education announced Thursday that it is launching an investigation into the Illinois Department of Education, District 299 of the Deerfield Public Schools and the District of the Public Schools of Deerfield on the violations of Title IX.
The reported violations come from an alleged incident that involves high school girls forced to change in the same costume as a transgender student.
“The Congress promulgated the title IX to put an end to discrimination based on sex against women in educational programs, and their implementation regulations have long reflected the practical practice of common sense of schools that provide separate intimate facilities for men and women,” said Craig Train Train Civil Rights Secretary in the announcement.
“The architects of Title IX understood that men and women, especially minors, have the right to be free from the obligatory exhibition of their bodies or to participate in intimate activities, such as changing their clothes in a costume, in front of the opposite sex,” Trainor continued.
