As RedState reported earlier, the Trump Dept. of Education announced Thursday that the Student Privacy Policy Office (SPPO) had begun an investigation of the California Dept. of Education on grounds that it “allegedly abdicated the responsibilities FERPA imposes due to a new California state law that prohibits school personnel from disclosing a child’s ‘gender identity’ to that child’s parent.”
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), they explained, “is a federal privacy law” that guarantees a number of rights to parents related to the public education system including “the right to access their children’s education records, the right to request record corrections or amendments, and the right to control, with important exceptions, disclosure of personally identifiable information in education records.”
