A coalition of 16 states and the District of Columbia is suing the Trump administration to keep materials that they say “recognize and affirm gender identity” in their federally funded K–12 sex education programs.

The lawsuit, filed Sept. 26 in the U.S. District Court in Oregon, is led jointly by the attorneys general of Minnesota, Oregon, and Washington.
