The Trump administration has moved to terminate six civil rights settlement agreements that had been put in place with school districts and a college to protect the rights of transgender students, effectively ending federal monitoring and enforcement of those measures. The U.S. Department of Education said the agreements, negotiated under previous administrations, represented a misapplication of Title IX, which prohibits sex-based discrimination in education, and described them as imposing unlawful obligations on schools. The terminated agreements had aimed to ensure transgender students had equal access to educational opportunities, including protections related to identity, participation, and treatment within school environments. The affected institutions include districts in California, Delaware, Washington state, and Pennsylvania, as well as a California college. While some districts indicated the agreements had already been implemented or would have limited immediate impact, the broader policy shift removes a layer of federal oversight. Advocacy groups and human rights organizations have strongly criticized the decision, arguing it undermines protections for vulnerable students and weakens enforcement of anti-discrimination laws in education.

Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed a law granting the state authority to label certain groups as terrorist organizations, effectively dissolving their nonprofit status. The law prohibits public schools and universities from funding programs deemed to promote terrorism and mandates the expulsion of students who support designated terrorist groups. DeSantis emphasized the need for public safety, stating: “We don't want money flowing to these groups that are appendages of terrorist groups.” Critics, including Hiba Rahim, executive director of CAIR-Florida, argue that the law unfairly targets Muslims and threatens free speech. The law also allows the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to designate groups as terrorists, raising concerns about due process and potential misuse.
