Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 regulates every public K-12 school, college, and university in the nation, prohibiting discrimination “on the basis of sex.” As a result, Title IX impacts tens of millions of children and parents.
On July 12, 2022, the U.S. Department of Education published in the Federal Register a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to rewrite the federal regulations that implement Title IX to expand the law’s scope, without Congressional approval, to include sexual orientation and gender identity. This will have devastating effects on parental rights, children’s well-being, First Amendment rights, and girls’ privacy, safety, and sports opportunities.
Concerned citizens have only till September 12, 2022 to act.
Here is an overview of what the proposed changes to Title IX’s regulations will do:
Create a new category of “sex discrimination” based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
The new rules will dramatically expand the scope of Title IX to include “discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.” They declare that preventing a student from participating in any school activity “consistent with their gender identity” subjects a student to harm on the basis of sex.
Make Upholding Biological Reality a Form of “Sex-based Harassment.”
The new regulations create a new form of “sex-based harassment.” Actions like using a child’s given name and biologically accurate pronouns instead of a preferred name and pronouns may be regarded as sex-based harassment.
Normalize Gender Identity Ideology and Harm Children’s Health.
The new regulations will promote gender identity ideology in our schools as mandated policy, encouraging students to believe that they can be “born in the wrong body.” Studies show that if not socially transitioned, 61% to 98% of children will come to terms with their biological sex. But if transitioned, children will be less likely to reconnect with their sex.
Many children will then pursue chemical and surgical alterations that have irreversible life-altering consequences like sterility and life-long sexual dysfunction, interrupting healthy growth and development, and other serious risks, like loss of bone density, cognitive problems, blood clots, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.
Create a Head-On Collision With Parental Rights
The new regulations would require K-12 schools to support socially transitioning children to a different gender without requiring notice to parents, the involvement of medical professionals, or legal documentation. These are life-altering decisions they are not qualified to make.
These rules will increase calls to child protective services for parents who uphold biological reality. Children are harmed when parents are disempowered to make the best decisions to protect their mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.
Require Schools to Open Up Their Privacy Facilities Based on Gender Identity.
Schools would be required to permit males who identify as females to use privacy facilities set aside for females, and vice versa. Girls/women will have to surrender their right to privacy and be placed at increased risk for harassment or assault by males who claim a female identity.
Jeopardize Girls’ and Women’s Athletic and Educational Opportunities.
These rules will require sports teams to be based on gender identity, instead of biological sex, forcing girls and women to compete on an unfair basis for athletic opportunities and scholarships against males and creating significant risks of injury for girls and women.
Threaten Religious Freedom and Free Speech in favor of Gender Indoctrination.
School districts will be forced to adopt policies that compel students and staff to refer to others as something other than their sex. This will violate students’ and teachers’ First Amendment rights to speak freely and treat others in a manner that is biologically accurate and consistent with their faith.
Turn Title IX Coordinators into federal law enforcement officials.
The new regulations give Title IX Coordinators sweeping new authority to enforce the new mandates. They empower Title IX Coordinators to decide whether to make a complaint against a school official or another student even if a child does not want to.
Also, if schools do not allow students to use bathrooms of their choosing, the Fed Govt will pull any and all funding for school lunches.
The schools need to get the Govt OUT of education. 100% OUT. Citizens need to fight for this to happen.
If you are in the Sioux Falls area, there are groups of us involved in education issues, fighting election integrity, and other important matters that NEED to be focused on. FIND US. Attend our meetings Attend the school board, city, county, and other Govt meetings.
Wow, I wish my community was as organized as yours. I’m in the process of contacting my teacher friends in the local public schools who are Christian and against this agenda. A lot of the local teachers here are totally oblivious to what is going on!
Start with attending some school board meetings to just listen to citizens who approach the board with issues. Attend a meeting or two and just watch and listen. Then start reaching out to the people who are standing up. Connect with them and then reach out to like-minded people to join in on a social gathering with those you meet at those board meetings.
Find local social media groups related to parents and your local schools; JOIN THEM. Just watch the postings and make casual comments without showing too much where you stand. After bit, start reaching out in private messages with those who have expressed that they are not happy with the indoctrination of children in schools. Share with them any ideas you have to bring about change or reach out to them to ask them if they have ideas. Have them attend school board meetings as well. Also look for any local social media groups claiming to be "patriot", "conservative", etc. Try to attend any events or gatherings they have; verify that they are in fact what they claim they are. Join forces.
Can discuss what issues you are seeing/hearing in your schools and formulate a plan on how to tackle those issues. Then you as a group attend those school board meetings and bring up those issues, presenting facts to back up the issues, to the school board.
Look into Parents Involved in Education (PIE) and see if there is already a group in your area (this not the group I am involved in as we do not have one here yet) and even the FB group "LaVerna in the Library - Utah's Mary in the Library" which has great resources if you want to start doing your own research into what your school libraries are stocking on the shelves.
I have met so many people in my area and although we do not all align with everything (for instance, many are die hard Noem fans but I am not and voted for her challenger in the primary a few short months back) but we each have our own skills and specific interests (medical freedom with medical transparency, education, election integrity, crime, etc) that our group is able to get people to focus on those areas of interest, keep the group as a whole updated on any upcoming laws/bills impacting them, work on our legislators on those areas, work to find people who would be great candidates to represent cities/towns, counties, etc because of their stances on those issues, etc.
Sounds like the states need to take back their rights from federal over-reach. This might be the catalyst needed to wake red state legislatures to finally move. Isn't interesting the DOE is pulling this right before midterms?
The website has sample letters for parents, educators, community leaders, church leaders…
Please look at the website and take action. If we overburden them with a lot of complaints, we can stop this horrible act from being passed federally.
