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.

NO. This is going to inflame WE THE PEOPLE to the point of torches and pitchforks!
BIDEN, is doing NOTHING, anonymous raging libtard commiecrats are writing up whatever pops into their fevered collective brain, secure in their belief that nobody will know who they are and none will ever be held accountable. Not so. The day is coming. Sooner and sooner, as they keep throwing this radical hatred of all decency and reason at WE THE PEOPLE and laughing “ESAD!”, like the nasty little infantile brats that they really are.
All this hitting the fan is getting closer and closer, literally, day by day. BRING IT ON!!!
Biden wants to protect the right of 9 year-old-girls to be fondled by the president.
BRAVO!!!
KOL HA’KAVOD!

IT’S A DAMNED SHAME WHEN DECENT AND HONORABLE LAW ABIDING AMERICANS HAVE TO TAKE THESE KIND OF PRECAUTIONS JUST TO VISIT AN AMERICAN CITY. IT’S ALL COMING TO A HEAD. SOON. VERY SOON.
AGAIN, BRAVO!
