Daily Caller: Ohio AIM Investigation Sparks Federal Civil Rights Complaint To DOJ, ED, HHS

October 16, 2025

Administrators employed at two Ohio school districts telling undercover journalists that the schools would allow a male student to access female sports and facilities and help hide his true identity at the parents’ request, according to recently filed complaints.

Protect the Public’s Trust (PPT) filed federal Title IX complaints after hidden camera videos released by Accuracy In Media showed school officials from Springfield City School District (SCSD) and Norwood City School District (NCSD) making the admissions. The complaints were filed to the Department of Education (ED), Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on Wednesday and were obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“In my opinion, if we’re enrolling as a female, she plays sports as a female,” Kelly Cromlish, secretary and registrar of SCSD, said to investigators posed as prospective parents.

Cromlish went on to say it was the parents’ decision whether or not to reveal the student’s true gender and said it would be “discrimination” for the school to otherwise expose the fact. She advised the investigators to “just go with the flow.”
