In July, the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) published a 190-page proposal for new rules under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. If passed, the rules would reintroduce Obama-era standards for defining and addressing “sexual harassment,” which means, in practice, restrictive speech codes, proliferating Title IX jobs on the public dime, and campus kangaroo courts. This time, the OCR intends to add a mandatory reporting requirement that would turn teachers and professors into enforcers of an infantilizing sex bureaucracy.
The most troubling aspect of the new rules, however, is what they do on the gender-identity front. Catherine Lhamon, whom Biden reappointed to the role of assistant secretary for civil rights at the Department of Education, in which role she heads the OCR, is considered a crusader on gender issues. The OCR intends to ramp up the pressure on school districts to adopt policies that will facilitate students’ gender transitions, even without the knowledge or consent of their parents. This marks a disturbing twist in the continuing saga of Title IX expansion, especially considering how the new policy is likely to harm girls disproportionately. Under the political cover of “civil rights,” the Biden administration is cementing the school-to-clinic pipeline.
The term “social transition” refers to the use of a person’s preferred name and pronouns and granting access to sex-specific accommodations like restrooms and sports teams that match that person’s “gender identity.” Researchers, clinicians, parents, and detransitioners (people who began or completed medical gender transitions but changed their minds and sought to reverse the process) have noted the self-fulfilling prophecy of social transition.

I’m so surprised milestone sales aren’t spiking.
It seems clear it does not necessarily take a majority in either congressional chamber for a tyrant so long as there is an impotent political party in opposition.
It is even worse, of course, if the MSM is no more than a voice of the tyrant's administration.
Just more ways to divide and conquer the American People. Create division, racism, sexism, transgenderism, hatred, jealousy, strife, etc. Its a way to turn the US into the Babylon the Great of Revelation. For a movement that hates god and the Bible it amazes me how fast they are trying to fulfill prophecy.
Approved on a 51-50 vote.
She has solid Leftist credentials - appointed to various offices by Obama, Biden, Gavin Newsome and married to the political and legislative director of the United Farm Workers Union.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
The whole Department of Education needs to be defunded and eradicated.
Put schools back in the local control of the parents.
Under federal direction they long ago ceased being about educating children and became indoctrination centers and prisons.
The current situation requires nothing less than getting rid of the U.S. department of education. The states no not need it and the GOP states can better reform education without it. Zero the dept of ed budget and reduce taxes commensurately.
anyone know if CA charter schools get the same suggested(?) rules?
