Parents aren't just fighting to uncover the influence of gender ideology activists in their children's public schools, but their influence with federal policymakers who stand to upend 50 years of policy on sex discrimination in schools by redefining it to include gender identity.
The keywords were Title IX and its common regulatory abbreviation "TIX," as well as LGBT, transgender, gender identity, gender-affirming and gender support plan.
The latter two refer to policies that treat students according to their stated gender identity, including preferred names and pronouns and access to opposite-sex bathrooms, locker rooms and sports, and related instructions for school staff on how to treat each student, including when to keep gender identity from their parents.
"The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to the promise of Title IX and ensuring all students are guaranteed an education environment free from discrimination on the basis of sex," department spokesperson Jim Bradshaw wrote in an email.
The feds' proposed rule on gender identity and sports, separate from the long-delayed proposal on gender identity in schools broadly, drew surprising opposition from the United Nations special rapporteur on violence against women and girls and its causes and consequences.
Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters told "Just the News, No Noise" the Sooner State would not follow the administration's Title IX regulatory revisions on gender identity in sports and access to intimate spaces in schools if finalized.
Cardona "Conflates gender identity with sex," the explicit focus of Title IX, "To skirt the legislative authority granted to you" and mischaracterizes the Supreme Court's Bostock ruling on gender identity in employment as expanding the definition of sex, the letter says.
