On Thursday (23 June), the Biden administration announced proposed amendments to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which prohibits sex-based discrimination in schools and federally-funded education programmes.
The proposal, announced on the 50th anniversary of the legislation being signed into law, would ensure LGBTQ+ students are protected under the law. It would be the first time queer students’ rights would be enshrined by Title IX.
Among the changes, “preventing someone from participating in school programs and activities consistent with their gender identity would cause harm in violation of Title IX”, and the definition of sexual harassment would be expended.
Legal director of The Human Rights Campaign (HRC), Sarah Warbelow, called the Title IX proposals a triumph.
“The proposed rule change gets at the heart of what Title IX is supposed to do – protect students from sexual assault, sexual harassment and discrimination while on campus,” Warbelow said.
She added: “By spelling out protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity, it will further safeguard a vulnerable population that is all too often preyed upon.
“It is especially important, given the attacks on transgender youth across the country.”
The amendments would restore protections removed by the Trump administration in 2020 that the Department of Education said had “weakened protections for survivors of sexual assault and diminished the promise of an education free from discrimination.”
“The proposed rules issued today by the Department of Education send an important message to LGBTQ students and their families that federal law protects them.”
GLAD executive director Janson Wu said: “These proposed regulations demonstrate a strong commitment to protecting educational opportunities for all students including LGBTQ students.
“Especially in light of ongoing state legislative attacks, we are grateful for the administration’s strong support of LGBTQ youth.”
In a statement from the White House, Joe Biden said: “Over the last 50 years, our nation has made monumental progress in advancing equity and equality for all students, including by narrowing gender gaps in sports, expanding opportunities in science and technology fields, and protecting students from sex discrimination, including sex-based harassment and sexual violence.”
However, Biden said there is more work to be done to protect LGBTQ+ people.
“I am committed to protecting this progress and working to achieve full equality, inclusion, and dignity for women and girls, LGBTQI+ Americans, all students, and all Americans,” he said.
I have zero doubts that federal and state department of educations need to be shuttered. Education tax dollars should flow directly to the students, particularly after the SCOTUS ruling this week that requires Maine to allow funds to be used on religious private schools. It is time to put ALL leftist teachers, administrators, unions, school board members, and government bureaucrats in the unemployment line. They have repeatedly proven that they are abject failures and now it is crystal clear that they are only concerned about Marxist indoctrination.
The death of a nation
This is going to ruin women’s and girl’s sports and do exactly opposite of what Title 9 intended!
I think it is natural to reject such insanity. Children have to be instructed to believe it.
It’s more than sports. It is back dooring medical procedures and medicines. That includes gender reassignment and abortion. The article only scratches the surface of the amendments. There is 800 pages of pure evil.
And genders
A defeat for reality and biology
triumph for LGBTQ+ kids
Well, it looks like Biden, having surpassed both Carter and Buchanan in presidential incompetence, has set his sights on a world record for self-absorbed incompetence: that of Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus.
Keep fiddling away while America burns, Joe. Your arrogant, self-delusional narcissism seemingly knows no bounds.
Her response?
"Hold it"
I kid you not!
She needs to hold her breath indefinitely
That's your story and you're sticking to it.
; )
To listen to the liberals, you would swear there are many “transgender” kindergartners, which is why they were so vociferous about that law in Florida banning discussion of homosexuality and “trans” issues for youngest children.
So now we can see what the long term goal of Title IX has been all along.
We will have “men’s sports.”
And over here, we will have “sports in which queer men cannot be prevented from taking all the medals and CELEBRATING.” This division was formerly known as “women’s sports.”
Yay conservatism!
Note that I didn’t say I added to my daily reading list. Lol. I am confident in my toxic masculinity
We had absolutely no chance at destroying Title IX before Brandon and now we do. He’s doing the work conservatives only talked about. Go Brandon!
No person in the United States shall, on the basis of ***SEX***
that means XX XY and gender/mental illness doesn't come into play
