Joe Biden’s administration released a finalized rule on Friday that expands Title IX protection to include “sexual orientation” and “gender identity.”
Title IX prohibits discrimination based on sex in any public school or university that receives federal funding, and in 2022 the administration unveiled a revised version that would extend prohibitions against “gender identity.” The administration’s new rule is the finalized version after months of review and public comment and will go into effect on August 1, according to a press release from the U.S. Department of Education (DOE).
...
The updated regulation prohibits schools from “preventing someone from participating in school (including in sex-separate activities) consistent with their gender identity,” excluding “sex-separate living facilities and sex-separate athletic teams.”
The rule does not address transgender athletes, despite previous efforts by the administration to include a provision barring schools from prohibiting biological males from competing in women’s and girl’s sports, according to the Associated Press. The administration is currently working on a separate rule that would prohibit schools from adopting a “one-size-fits-all policy” that allegedly discriminates against transgender athletes.
Nearly 25 states have enacted legislation restricting transgender athletes from female sports categories.
“Just ignore whatever PedoJoe decrees, and go about your normal life.”
Easy for you to say. Not so easy if your 18 year old freshman daughter is playing on a university sports team and gets the daylights beat out of her by a man the opposing team.
The Biden junta is still insisting on allowing mentally ill boys into girls' restrooms, but aside from that, this exemption appears to cover athletic competition and housing on school related trips. What other sex-separate activities are left in U.S. schools today? Maybe health/sex education classes where teachers are introducing kids to the birds and the bees? I'm sure Biden & Co. are intent that lesbians with penises be included in the girls' talks about sexuality. Anything else? Perhaps some theater or music programs still have girls' and boys' singing groups, but there can't be many of those left. What else?
If I had an 18 year old daughter, she damn sure wouldn’t be playing on a team where this could happen.
I take my job protecting my kids seriously.
I hear you. But she works from age 6 to 18 to perfect her craft, gets on a top-rated university team, wins a scholarship, and bastards like Biden change the rules on her when she enters school. Do you yank her out of that school?
No easy answer, but your daughter’s physical well being is far and above more important than anything else.
Federal judge blocks Biden administration’s Title IX guidelines to protect LGBTQ+ students
Judge Reed O’Connor said the Biden administration didn’t have the authority to make the changes, which would expand anti-discrimination protections.
