The Justice Department has warned North Carolina its new anti-transgender law violates the Civil Rights Act and Title IX. The announcement could jeopardize billions in federal educational funding. The department gave North Carolina until Monday to confirm it would not implement the law, which prevents trans people from using the bathroom that corresponds to their gender identity. In related news, the City Council in Oxford, Alabama, has voted to rescind its ordinance that made it a misdemeanor punishable by jail time for people to use a bathroom that didn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth. And in Illinois, a group of families have sued a Chicago area school district for allowing a transgender student to use the girls’ locker room.
