“This does take away the importance from the resolution agreements. If the message that school districts get is, well, we can enter into it now, but they could just be rescinded based on the political whim of a new administration, like, what force does it actually have then to actually prevent discrimination,” said Shiwali Patel, senior director of Education Justice at the National Women’s Law Center.

Patel said the agreements where the Trump administration “has forced schools to actually violate the law and enter into agreements that violate First Amendment freedoms or civil rights protection” should be “rescinded” by a new administration.
