Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - Trump Administration Goes After Chicago, Deerfield Schools
Chicago Public Schools and a suburban school district are under a civil rights investigation from the Department of Education. And the center of the investigation? School locker room policy. The investigation, announced last week, comes after politically conservative groups filed complaints about trans students being allowed to change in the locker room that lines up with their gender identities. The Trump Administration says it is investigating alleged violations of Title IX, while the Chicago and Deerfield school districts insist they are in accordance with Illinois law. Reset digs into what’s at stake with Chicago Sun-Times reporter Violet Miller.
