Senior officials in President Joe Biden’s Department of Education defied a federal court order in launching investigations of gender identity and sexual orientation discrimination in schools, according to a federal watchdog finding.
The Office of Special Counsel released a report this week that confirmed the disclosure of Education Department whistleblower Timothy Mattson, who said the department’s Office of Civil Rights unlawfully processed complaints about gender identity discrimination after a federal judge halted an executive order from going into effect that was the basis for the investigations.
According to Mattson’s disclosure, the Office for Civil Rights investigated a school that restricted athletic competition to biological sex.
In another case, the department opened a probe of a school that declined to change a student’s name and pronouns in academic records and restricted bathroom use to biological sex.
