The Trump administration’s education department on Tuesday said it is investigating reports that Denver Public Schools converted a girls’ restroom at its flagship high school campus into an “all-gender” facility, calling it “discrimination” against female students.
“As a result, East High School now has an exclusive restroom for male students and no restroom for female students on its second floor,” the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights said in a letter to Denver Public Schools Superintendent Alex Marrero.
A spokesperson for Denver Public Schools defended the restroom as “(aligning) with our values of supporting every student.”
