助理司法部长哈米特·迪伦7月29日在一封信中要求马里兰州的一个学区停止向家长隐瞒学生性别转换相关信息，否则将面临司法部的诉讼。
“除‘法律要求’的情况外，安妮阿伦德尔县公立学校绝对向家长隐瞒‘学生性别认同信息’，这似乎采取了全学区范围的 blanket（全面）保密做法，与《家庭教育权利与隐私法》规定的例外情况完全脱节……家长被剥夺了获取孩子完整记录的权利，信息在未获得家长同意的情况下被披露，家长也被剥夺了更正记录的听证会权利，”她在写给安妮阿伦德尔县学校系统的信中写道。
“遵守法律，否则我们法庭见，”迪伦后来在X平台上补充道。
这一要求标志着特朗普政府最新一次挑战允许学生在家长不知情的情况下进行社交性性别过渡的学校政策，考验联邦教育隐私法是否要求学区披露性别认同记录。安妮阿伦德尔县现在面临可能的诉讼——以及潜在的联邦资金流失风险——除非它在7天内推翻该政策，这升级了一场关于父母权利的全国性争端，而父母权利是总统政策议程中的一项重要支柱。

《家庭教育权利与隐私法》（FERPA）旨在赋予家长获取孩子教育记录的合法权利，特朗普政府认为这些记录包括与其性别认同变化相关的信息。司法部此前曾利用该法律试图推翻缅因州和加利福尼亚州的类似政策。
LGBTQ+倡导者认为，不披露与孩子性别认同相关的信息，对于保护在不接纳或存在虐待行为的家庭中成长的孩子的安全至关重要。与此同时，社会保守派认为学校无权向家长隐瞒有关其子女的信息。
在迪伦周三发出这封信之前，司法部和教育部宣布，它们已建立合作关系，打击安妮阿伦德尔县和密歇根州安阿伯公立学校的跨性别信息隐瞒政策，可能会截留这些学区的联邦资金，直到它们改变政策。

在宣布这项联合行动的新闻稿中，这两个机构声称，教育部收到了安妮阿伦德尔县家长的投诉，他们指控该学区“秘密帮助他们的女儿在学校假装成男性”，并在被质问时拒绝提供相关信息。
教育部一名官员告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，该机构不会对正在进行的调查置评，而司法部发言人在接受采访时将福克斯新闻数字频道引至迪伦的言论。
根据学区政策，安妮阿伦德尔公立学校的学生可以使用任何他们偏好的姓名或代词，即使这与他们的生理性别不符，且无需获得家长批准。不过，工作人员被指示应让学生的家庭参与制定针对该学生的支持计划，除非“存在对学生身体、情感或心理健康安全的切实担忧”。

此外，该政策将学生性别认同相关记录指定为机密医疗信息，并建议仅在法律有要求时才披露这些信息。
福克斯新闻数字频道联系后，马里兰州安妮阿伦德尔县和密歇根州安阿伯的学区均未置评。

“向家长隐瞒信息的学区违反了联邦法律，”迪伦说。“《家庭教育权利与隐私法》并非可选条款，任何试图绕过或曲解其要求的学区都应预计到联邦将立即采取行动。司法部将与教育部合作，对不遵守规定的学区启动执法程序。”
迪伦的信要求安妮阿伦德尔公立学校在7天内废除其政策，向受影响的家长提供相关记录，并告知工作人员不得向家长隐瞒信息。如果未能在截止日期前完成，信中称该学区可能面临法律诉讼。

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon demanded in a letter sent July 29 that a school district in Maryland stop hiding information about student gender transitions from parents or face litigation from the Justice Department.
“By categorically withholding ‘(i)nformation about a student’s gender identity’ from parents except where ‘legally required,’ AACPS appears to have adopted a blanket, district-wide practice of nondisclosure untethered to FERPA’s enumerated exceptions … parents were denied access to their child’s full record, information was disclosed without parental consent, and the parents were denied a hearing to correct the record,” she wrote, aimed at the Anne Arundel County school system.
“Comply with the law or face us in court,” Dhillon later added on X.
The demand marks the Trump administration’s latest effort to challenge school policies that allow students to socially transition without their parents’ knowledge, testing whether federal education privacy law requires districts to disclose gender-identity records. Anne Arundel County now faces possible litigation — and potentially the loss of federal funding — unless it reverses the policy within seven days, escalating a national dispute over parental rights, a significant plank in the president’s policy agenda.
‘SHAME ON YOU’: SHERRILL KNEW VOTER-ROLL BOMBSHELL WAS COMING WHEN SHE CALLED TRUMP A LIAR, DOJ OFFICIAL SAYS

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)is designed to give parents the legal right to access their children’s educational records, which the Trump administration argues includes information related to changes in their gender identity. The law has previously been used by the DOJ in attempts to overturn similar policies in Maine and California.
LGBT advocates argue that nondisclosure for information linked to a child’s gender identity is important to preserving the safety of children growing up in non-affirming or abusive households. Social conservatives, meanwhile, take the position that schools don’t have the right to conceal information about their children from them.
Before Dhillon sent her letter Wednesday, the DOJ and the Department of Education announced that they had entered a partnership to crack down on transgender nondisclosure policies in both Anne Arundel County and Ann Arbor Public Schools in Michigan, potentially withholding federal funds from the district until it changes course.

In a press release announcing the joint effort, the agencies claimed that the Education Department had received complaints from parents in Anne Arundel County who alleged the district “was secretly helping their daughter pretend to be male at school” and declined to provide information about it when confronted.
An Education Department official told Fox News Digital that the agency does not comment on ongoing investigations and a DOJ spokesperson referred Fox News Digital to Dhillon’s remarks when reached for comment.
Students enrolled in Anne Arundel Public Schools are, per district policy, allowed to use any name or pronoun they prefer, even if it doesn’t align with their sex, without requiring parental approval. Staff are, however, instructed to involve the student’s family in developing a support plan for the student unless “there is a genuine safety concern for the student’s physical, emotional, or mental health safety.”

Additionally, the policy designates records about student gender identity as confidential medical information and advises that it should be revealed when legally necessary.
The Anne Arundel, Maryland, and Ann Arbor, Michigan, school districts did not respond to requests for comment when reached by Fox News Digital.

“School districts that hide information from parents are violating federal law,” Dhillon said. “FERPA is not optional, and any districts that attempt to bypass or distort its requirements should expect immediate federal action. In partnership with the Department of Education, the Department of Justice will initiate enforcement proceedings with districts that fail to comply.”
Dhillon’s letter gives Anne Arundel Public Schools seven days to rescind its policy, provide parents impacted with the relevant records and inform staff that they cannot withhold information from parents. If the deadline is not met, the letter claims the district could face legal action.
