The 1972 civil rights law was more narrowly applied under guidance from former President Trump's administration, but the new regulations reflect a major federal push to combat sex discrimination in schools.
Kelley Robinson, president of the LGBTQ+ advocacy group the Human Rights Campaign, stated that the new rule clearly obligates school districts to protect students from discrimination, allowing students to use facilities, attend events, and express themselves freely.
Education Secretary Miguel Cardona emphasized that the new regulations build on the legacy of Title IX by ensuring that all students can attend safe, welcoming, and respectful schools.
