A conservative legal group led by Trump adviser Stephen Miller requests federal investigation. They target Maryland's largest school districts. The group complains about policies protecting transgender students. This is part of broader conflict over American public schools.

America First Legal filed a complaint this week. They contacted the Justice and Education Departments. The group accuses Montgomery County Public Schools of breaking federal privacy law. The school allows transgender students to use chosen names without automatically informing parents. America First Legal claims the school wrongly withholds information from parents.

The conflict grows as Trump's cabinet restricts transgender rights nationally. Maryland takes the opposite position in this debate. The state has a law protecting transgender and LGBTQ+ students against discrimination clearly. This directly conflicts with federal policy.

The school argues transgender students have the right to privacy. Staff cannot tell parents unless legally required or the student agrees. America First Legal wants federal officials to investigate. They demand the school change its policies.
