U.S. Department of Education Launches Investigation Into Denver Public Schools for Converting Girl’s Restroom to All-gender Facility

Excerpt:  “The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) today announced an investigation into the Denver Public Schools District for discriminating against its female students by converting a female restroom into an all-gender restroom in its largest high school. As a result, East High School now has an exclusive restroom for male students and no restroom for female students on its second floor. Title IX of the Education Amendment of 1972 and its implementing regulations are clear: A recipient of federal funds, like the district, ‘may provide separate toilet, locker room, and shower facilities on the basis of sex, but such facilities provided for students of one sex shall be comparable to such facilities provided for students of the other sex.’”
