The Trump administration quietly issued a revised version of a key civil‑rights survey that tracks discrimination in schools, this time stripping out any data on nonbinary students and incidents of gender‑identity bullying. The move follows a broader pattern of policy changes that have narrowed protections for LGBTQ+ youth. Critics argue that removing these categories erases evidence of a growing problem and hampers efforts to address it, while supporters claim the changes streamline reporting. The update raises questions about how the administration will monitor and respond to emerging discrimination trends in educational settings.
