The U.S. Dept. of Education has opened an investigation into the Minnesota Dept. of Education to ensure compliance with the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment after a complaint was received on behalf of parents regarding the use of "transgender dolls" in schools.
According to the department's announcement, "MyGenderDolls" feature removable, interchangeable internal and external genitalia, gender-neutral names, and clothing for both sexes, and are described as expected to be available to Minnesota educators for use with students as young as 4 years old this fall.
