Biden Admins Unveils Changes to Title IX Anti-Discrimination Policy
Summary from the AllSides News Team
The Biden administration announced an overhaul of Title IX, the federal law prohibiting sex discrimination in federally funded schools.
The Details: The new regulations offer detailed protections against school-based discrimination, including sexual harassment, discrimination based on pregnancy, and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. The rules do not address the participation of transgender students in sports activities. LGBTQ advocates argue that these regulations will help ensure LGBTQ students receive the same educational experience as their peers. Critics argue the new rules put students and institutions at legal risk by challenging established understandings of sex and gender.
Key Quotes: Education Secretary Miguel Cardona released a statement reading, “These final regulations build on the legacy of Title IX by clarifying that all our nation’s students can access schools that are safe, welcoming, and respect their rights.” Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) criticized the new regulations, stating, “The Department of Education has placed Title IX, and the decades of advancement and protections for women and girls that it has yielded, squarely on the chopping block.”
How The Media Covered It: The New York Daily News (Left bias) focused on how the new regulations protect students from discrimination while highlighting that the regulations “failed to address the participation of transgender students in sports activities.”. The Gateway Pundit (Right bias) approached the new regulations with a more critical lens, arguing that they force women to share spaces with men based on gender identity instead of biological sex.
