The U.S. Department of Education plans to withdraw federal funding from five school districts in Northern Virginia after they refused to rescind transgender bathroom policies, defying the Trump administration's directives. This move follows a Title IX warning and highlights a broader shift under the Trump administration, which has reprioritized civil rights enforcement in education by focusing on allegations that transgender students and students of color receive unfair advantages. Concurrently, the administration has introduced new rules limiting student loan forgiveness programs for public servants, including proposals to exclude employers providing gender-transition treatments to individuals under 19 from participating in federal loan forgiveness. Additionally, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed by President Donald Trump, imposes new federal loan limits starting July 2026, capping graduate student borrowing at $100,000 and medical school borrowing at $200,000 for life. These changes have raised concerns about reduced financial aid opportunities for aspiring doctors and students from underserved communities.
