Four Kansas school districts say they haven’t received any complaints about their gender identity policies. But the federal government is investigating them anyway — and it has threatened to withhold federal funding from them.

KCUR's Nomin Ujiyediin spoke with education reporter Jodi Fortino and the Kansas News Service's Zane Irwin about the investigation and how the school districts have responded.
