Lambda Legal Sues U.S. Departments of Education And Justice Over Trans Guidance Withdrawal

Yesterday,  Lambda Legal filed a federal lawsuit  to compel the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice to release information about their decision to withdraw guidance detailing the protections transgender students have  under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which bans discrimination in education on the basis of sex.

After the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice rescinded the guidance  in February, we filed Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests for documents and communications on the decision to withdraw the guidance.

The U.S. Departments of Education and Justice have failed to comply with the FOIA requests and have not released a single document to Lambda Legal.
