The federal Department of Justice is investigating a Los Angeles high school's gender "secrecy policy" that led to a student's suicide. The Los Angeles Unified School District issued a policy in 2019 that instructs teachers and staff to not disclose a student’s gender identity as much as possible. This policy was criticized by critics as preventing parents from knowing about their child's choices. Harmeet Dhillon, the assistant attorney general for civil rights, confirmed the investigation in a statement. The investigation is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to counter "gender identity politics" and promote such policies.
