The U.S. Department of Justice sued the Kansas City, Kansas, school district over its policies on transgender students and parental notification. The lawsuit claims the district violated a federal privacy law by not informing parents about their child's gender transition without student consent.
Key Facts
The Justice Department sued the Kansas City, Kansas, school district for its transgender student policies.
The district allows use of preferred names and pronouns and sometimes withholds information from parents if the student requests.
The Education Department found four Kansas districts violated the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) for these policies.
Kansas does not have a law requiring schools to notify parents about students' gender-related changes, unlike some other states.
The lawsuit seeks to force the district to stop hiding this information and to give parents more access to student records.
The Department of Justice emphasizes that parental rights are important in public schools.
Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach has publicly criticized schools for hiding transgender students’ use of different names or pronouns from parents.
The lawsuit is the first by President Donald Trump’s administration to use FERPA to argue parents must be informed about their child's gender identity changes.

The deal has faced criticism from Venezuelan opposition leaders who say it does not lead to real democratic change.

A report by the New South Wales ombudsman found that over a third of prenatal reports about unborn children at risk were not investigated because of a lack of staff. The investigation also showed that child protection services wrongly believed they could force families to take part in prenatal checks, but the law says all engagement during pregnancy must be voluntary.
Key Facts
Out of 5,007 prenatal reports in NSW, 37% (1,844 reports) were closed without assigning a caseworker.
Almost half of reports about unborn children at significant risk were closed due to no staff capacity.
Only 50% of prenatal reports were referred for case management by the Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ).
The law requires that families must voluntarily agree to prenatal casework; DCJ cannot force interviews, home visits, or drug tests during pregnancy.
The DCJ incorrectly assumed it had the same legal powers before birth as it does after a child is born.
The ombudsman highlighted that risk assessment tools used by DCJ may have racial biases and that children of Aboriginal families are overrepresented in child protection reports.
The law does not allow DCJ to make formal child protection decisions before a child is born.
Over 40% of substantiated reports about unborn children in NSW in 2023-24 involved Aboriginal babies.
