A federal judge in Virginia has ordered the Pentagon to restore books and curriculum that were removed from its schools following efforts by the Trump administration to weed out perceived “wokeness” from the military and education.

The Education Department says Fairfax County Public Schools may have violated the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment after reports a social worker arranged an abortion for a student without parental notice and pressured another into having one.

The orders address a broad array of topics such as school discipline, racial preferences, gender and athletics, fundamentally reshaping the legal and regulatory landscape for K12 education.

The Trump administration is invoking civil rights laws to curb race- and gender-based protections in schools, warning districts they could lose funding. Critics say the move weaponizes laws meant to protect marginalized students.
