Executive Order 14190 passed on January 29, 2025, aimed at eliminating protections for transgender students by calling on federal agencies to rescind and withhold funding from K-12 schools that support transgender students.

Fortunately, New York City has a number of shield laws that protect transgender and gender nonconforming students at school.
