The Trump administration is investigating 36 public school districts in Illinois. The Department of Justice (DOJ) will determine whether the districts allow parents to opt their children out of lessons on LGBTQ+ issues. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon stated that the DOJ is determined to end local school authorities keeping parents in the dark about sexuality and gender ideology in classrooms. The DOJ will also assess if the districts limit access to single-sex facilities and sports teams based on biological sex. The districts under investigation are mostly in the Chicago area, but also include small rural institutions across Illinois. Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker called the administration's actions a 'sham investigation' aimed at punishing states the president does not like.
