Biden's Title IX rules are a victory for powerful teachers unions fueling Dem campaigns

The Department of Education finalized a sweeping reversal of Trump-era Title IX reforms on Friday, a win for teachers unions that had advocated for such an action.

The nation's two largest teachers unions, the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association, have for months heavily advocated for the regulations to be finalized. During the current election cycle, the two unions have funneled millions of dollars to Democrat-aligned political action committees, but virtually nothing to Republicans, according to federal filings.

"Prior to the 2020 rule, there was progress on changing the culture of sexual violence on our education campuses, as well as improvements to student safety. But the Trump-DeVos rule quashed open discussion of sexual harassment and gender-based violence," AFT President Randi Weingarten wrote in a comment letter supporting the Biden administration's regulations.
