Trump vowed to push schools to the right on gender and race. Now he can.


As a candidate, Trump repeatedly promised to drive “critical race theory and transgender insanity” out of schools and block federal funds from schools that refuse. AdvertisementAnd many Republicans are keen to create a federal tax credit for donations to school voucher programs — another Trump promise. The Obama and Biden administrations both used this authority to press their priorities on issues of race and gender. Those rules barred school districts from discrimination based on gender identity and prompt investigations if schools do not respect trans students’ identity. For instance, the incoming Trump administration could argue that forcing girls to share bathrooms or compete with athletes who were born biologically male violates their rights.
