"Previous administrations distorted the law contrary to its plain meaning to police discrimination on the basis of 'gender identity,' not sex, and imposed resolution agreements with no legal foundation, but rather, based on an ideologically-driven interpretation of Title IX."
"Title IX exists to ensure that students are protected from discrimination and treated with dignity so that they can learn and thrive in our schools. It's always been about that."
"The Trump administration's Department of Education has spent its limited resources to strip Title IX of that very purpose."
"One advocacy group condemned the agency's decision, calling it 'unimaginably cruel' and an 'escalation of [the administration's] anti-trans agenda.'"
The Trump administration announced the rescission of several resolution agreements related to the rights of transgender students in educational institutions. The Education Department stated that previous agreements were based on a misinterpretation of Title IX, which they claim distorted the law's intent. This decision has been criticized by advocacy groups as an escalation of anti-trans policies. The department will cease monitoring agreements with various school districts and colleges, including Taft College, which was found non-compliant with Title IX following a complaint from a transgender student.
