The Biden administration 'rewrite of Title IX requirments is hiding rule changes that could put an end to single-sex K-12 sports as soon as August 2024.
Any mention of transgender athletes was notably absent in the revisions sponsored by Biden's Department of Education, when the rules were first released last week.
Some say the changes are an obvious attempt to thwart state rules banning trans athletes in women's sports.
Title IX, of course, are the federal rules that define sexual discrimination for educational institutions that take federal funding and are part of the civil rights legislation in the 1972 Education Amendments.
According to a review by Gospel Coalition, Biden's administration added "Gender identity" to its rules prohibiting "Sex-based harassment," which expands the coverage from male-female definitions to cover LGBTQ and transgender definitions.
In this Title IX final rule, the Department of Education incorporates the Bostock decision's reasoning, expressly prohibiting discrimination and harassment based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex characteristics in federally funded education programs.
While Biden's rules do not specifically mention transgenderism, education secretary Miguel Cardona noted that this was done on purpose because the "Standards for students participating on male and female athletic teams are evolving in real time." Cardona added that the administration will revisit the rules in due time and the current rules concerning transgenderism are not final as "Separate rulemaking" will be forthcoming.
