Hold onto your boxed lunches, because the Department of Justice (DOJ) is actually doing something about the gender nonsense going on in Michigan schools.

A newly released press release outlines how the federal government is finally poking around in three Michigan school districts – Detroit Public Schools Community District, Godfrey-Lee Public Schools (in Wyoming, about 4–5 miles southwest of downtown Grand Rapids) and the Lansing School District – to check if they’ve been sneaking sexual orientation and gender-ideology content into classrooms from pre-K through 12.

The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division says it’s investigating whether parents were actually told they could opt their kids out of these lessons – because apparently sending someone a syllabus is a revolutionary idea when Leftists are in charge of indoctrinating your children.

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division said in the press release, “This Department of Justice is fiercely committed to ending the growing trend of local school authorities embedding sexuality and gender ideology in every aspect of public education.”

She went on to say that Title IX demands that they “guard the safety, dignity and innocence of our youngest citizens – our children.” Title IX is a 1972 federal civil rights law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in any education program or activity receiving federal funding. It’s also something that the Democratic Party has twisted into a vehicle for their gender-identity agenda.

The federal investigators are also taking a long, hard look at whether Michigan schools are enforcing single-sex bathrooms and locker rooms based on biological sex. That’s not just oversight, it’s common sense – and it protects the safety of girls in schools.

Something significant must be unfolding inside these three Michigan districts to prompt a Justice Department probe. Whether school leaders were merely “misguided” in their classroom policies – and deliberately cutting parents out of the loop – is a question the investigation aims to answer.

But one thing is clear: the days of quietly rewriting the rules on sex, privacy and parental rights without federal scrutiny are over under the Trump administration. For Michigan schools that thought no one was watching, the DOJ just flipped on the lights.
