The Trump administration releases an updated version of a major civil rights survey covering schools, but the update removes data related to nonbinary students and bullying based on gender identity. Multiple outlets report that the change is made quietly and that the revised materials no longer include those categories.
The reports describe the action as “scrubbing” the survey of specific data elements rather than adding new reporting. While the outlets do not differ on the core claim—that gender-identity-related information is missing from the updated survey—they characterize the change in slightly different ways, using phrasing such as “quietly released” and “scrubbed.”
No details are provided across the cited sources about the administration’s rationale for the update or how the removed data would affect comparisons with earlier survey results. The reporting focuses on what information is absent from the newly released survey update and on the implications for how gender-based bullying and nonbinary student experiences are measured in the dataset.
