Should
Title IX continue to advance girls’ equal opportunity? Or should it be altered
to focus on advancing gender ideology?
Title
IX is the landmark law passed in 1972 that ensured equal opportunities for
girls in education by prohibiting discrimination “on the basis of sex.” It
regulates all federally funded K-12 schools, colleges, and universities and
thus impacts tens of millions of children, parents, and young people across the
country.
Child
& Parental Rights Campaign is one of many family-focused public interest
organizations sounding the alarm to parents, educators, and community leaders
concerning the current federal administration’s sweeping new proposed
regulations to Title IX that would require radical gender identity ideology as
mandated policy in all schools. Watch
this video for an overview of the threat.
On July 12, 2022, the U.S. Department of Education
published in the Federal Register a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to rewrite
the regulations that implement Title IX to expand the law, without Congressional approval, to now include sexual orientation and gender identity. This
will have devastating effects on girls’ privacy, girls’ safety, girls’ sports
opportunities, parental rights, children’s well-being, Free Speech and Free
Religious Exercise. Rather than
allowing the Congress to make changes to Title IX, the radical new rules will
endorse gender identity ideology that actively and aggressively teaches children
to believe they can be born in the wrong body. These changes to the law would
allow school officials to authorize a child’s gender transition without
requiring notice to their parents, the involvement of medical professionals, or
legal documentation.
These new rules will harm children. Many kids will
go on to chemical and surgical changes that result in disrupted development,
sterility, infertility, and life-long sexual dysfunction. This will also
foreseeably increase calls to child protective services for parents who chose
to uphold biological reality or simply try to help their child.
Ironically, the new rules would hijack the equal
opportunities Title IX once provided girls by forcing girls to share their
private spaces (bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers) and to compete against
biological males in sports, ending 50 years of protections for girls’ sports
and scholarship opportunities.
The 60-day comment period requires the USDOE to
consider and respond to all the impacts raised in the public comments they
receive through the Federal Register online portal. Visit www.childparentrights.org/title-ix, and find a link to the Federal Register here.
Title IX should continue to advance girls’ equal opportunity, rather than focus on gender ideology. That advances families and their restoration.
