Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Kimberly Richey said the department was removing unneeded and unlawful burdens imposed in pursuit of a \u201cradical transgender agenda.\u201d The piece notes that the Biden-era move to redefine Title IX to include gender identity was blocked by a federal court in January 2025 and subsequently rescinded by the Trump administration, which said it would not enforce those agreements. It also highlights ongoing legal debates before the Supreme Court about bans on men from women\u2019s sports and references a potential Colorado Catholic preschool discrimination case.the article portrays the Trump administration\u2019s effort to roll back gender-identity initiatives in education and restore what it calls compliance with the law.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Education Department ends Biden-era gender ideology settlements with schools<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2553250\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/department-of-education\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"2037\">Department of Education<\/a> announced Monday it will terminate settlements with five school districts and one college that were brokered during the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/biden-administration\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"445\">Biden administration<\/a> to instill <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/gender-ideology\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"583\">gender ideology<\/a> at the institutions.<\/p>\n<p>Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Kimberly Richey said in a statement Monday that the Department of Education was &ldquo;removing the unnecessary and unlawful burdens&rdquo; that it claimed the Biden administration imposed &ldquo;in its relentless pursuit of a radical transgender agenda.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;While previous Administrations launched <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/title-ix\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"2819\">Title IX investigations <\/a>based on &lsquo;misgendering,&rsquo; the Trump administration is investigating allegations of girls and women being injured by men on their sports team or feeling violated by men in their intimate spaces,&rdquo;&nbsp;Richey <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ed.gov\/about\/news\/press-release\/us-department-of-education-rescinds-illegal-title-ix-resolution-agreements\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.ed.gov\/about\/news\/press-release\/us-department-of-education-rescinds-illegal-title-ix-resolution-agreements\">said<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;Today is yet another demonstration of the Trump administration&rsquo;s commitment to uphold the law, protect our students, and restore common sense.
