Parents' rights groups urge Cardona not to 'rewrite' Title IX by striking due process, adding gender identity
Fox News
A coalition of 27 parents' rights groups urged Education Secretary Miguel Cardona not to reverse the Trump administration's Title IX sex discrimination reforms and not to incorporate "gender identity" into Title IX regulations.
President Biden signed an executive order in March 2021 outlining plans to review Title IX regulations related to gender identity. Biden repeatedly has cited the 2020 case Bostock v. Clayton County, in which the Supreme Court ruled that discrimination on the basis of sex includes discrimination of the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in federal law.
Then-Education Secretary Betsy DeVos had issued new rules regarding Title IX, the federal statue that governs sexual misconduct in schools, rejecting the Obama administration's 2011 "Dear Colleague" letter that critics said led colleges and universities across America to deny due process to those accused of sexual assault.
