On September 8 2025, NWLC and 12 partner organizations committed to civil rights submitted a regulatory comment demanding the Department of Education (ED) continue collecting data on sex discrimination experienced by transgender, nonbinary, and intersex students in K-12 schools. Federal law requires ED to collect information from schools to shed light on sex discrimination and harassment that harms K-12 students, from bullying to sexual assault, in a survey called the CRDC. We know, in part from CRDC data, that LGBTQI+ students are disproportionately targeted for sex discrimination and harassment that hurts their educations—but as part of the Trump administration’s efforts to erase trans people from public life, ED’s proposed changes erase trans and nonbinary students from the CRDC and would obscure information on sex harassment and discrimination. ED must reverse these proposed changes to allow schools and communities to make informed policies to protect the right of all students to learn free from sex discrimination.
