Calls on the executive branch to protect individuals from sex-based discrimination — including pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, sex stereotypes, and sex-based harassment — and to ensure schools prevent and respond to discrimination and harassment.
Condemns actions characterized in the text as "weaponizing" Title IX and objects to an inter-agency transfer of OCR responsibilities to the Department of Justice as contrary to authorizing and appropriations law.
Urges that the Office for Civil Rights receive sufficient staff and resources to enforce federal education civil rights laws including Title IX.
Argument forAffirming Title IX publicly reinforces federal commitment to preventing sex-based discrimination and signals support for marginalized students (including transgender, intersex, and pregnant students).
