Virginia’s Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin has put defiant school districts on notice, ordering them comply with a new transgender policy framework that includes requiring students to use bathrooms matching their birth sex, after several districts balked at the new model policies.

The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) recently issued new model policies (pdf) regarding transgender students, which roll back some accommodations and give parents more of a say.
