New civil rights regulations by Biden's administration mandate transgender student accommodations in schools under Title IX or face funding loss, causing clashes with Republican-led states.
The conflicting directives put school officials in a tight spot, facing federal investigations, litigations, threats of state takeovers, or funding cuts regardless of their decisions.
Title IX's focus on sex discrimination now includes gender identity, raising disputes as regulations under Biden allow broader accommodation for transgender students while school sports participation rulings are pending.
The regulations aim to ensure safe, welcoming schools respecting rights for all, emphasizes Miguel A. Cardona, the education secretary, as schools navigate through potential conflicts and legal challenges.
