Are Israel and Iran headed for a full-blown war?President Joe Biden speaks as Education Secretary Miguel Cardona listens at the White House, June 30, 2023, in Washington. ** FILE **The Biden administration released Friday its long-awaited overhaul of Title IX, inserting “gender identity” into the watershed civil rights amendment aimed at eliminating discrimination against girls and women in education.
“The rule prohibits discrimination and harassment based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex characteristics in federally funded education programs, applying the reasoning of the Supreme Court’s ruling in Bostock v. Clayton County,” said the DOE fact sheet. The revisions unveiled Friday specify that schools “must not separate or treat people differently based on sex in a manner that subjects them to more than de minimis harm, except in limited circumstances permitted by Title IX.”“The final regulations further recognize that preventing someone from participating in school consistent with their gender identity causes that person more than de minimis harm,” said the fact sheet.
“This final rule dumps kerosene on the already raging fire that is Democrats’ contemptuous culture war that aims to radically redefine sex and gender,” she said. “The rule also undermines existing due process rights, placing students and institutions in legal jeopardy and again undermining the protections Title IX is intended to provide.”
