The American Civil Liberties Union of Texas, Equality Texas, Transgender Education Network Texas, and others filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights on Monday, alleging violations of Title IX. The ACLU is seeking an investigation of the Keller Independent School District (Keller ISD), which banned all books depicting or referencing transgender or nonbinary people earlier this month. The ACLU stated in its letter that the policy was intended to erase the existence of transgender and non-binary people.
