U.S. Department of Education: The New ‘Evil Empire’?

WASHINGTON / July 5, 2023 – The Constitution defines the authorities and roles of the judicial, legislative, and executive branches of government as having co-equal powers (1). But in the past two years, the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) has repeatedly ignored this bedrock principle:

In its proposed Title IX regulation, re-wrote the meaning of the First and Fourteenth Amendments, to the severe detriment of free speech and due process (2).
Proposed to expand the definition of sex to include “gender identity,” thereby usurping the responsibility of Congress to exercise “All legislative Powers.”
Overhauled the definition of sexual harassment:

- Supreme Court Davis v. Monroe: Actions that are “so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive, and that so undermines and detracts from the victims’ educational experience.” (3)
- New definition on the DOE website: “Sexual harassment is unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature.” (4)

Now, the Department of Education has gone beyond trampling on the authority of the Constitution, Congress, and the Supreme Court. Following release of its controversial Title IX proposal in 2022, the DOE has aggressively promoted the transgender agenda, which has had the effect of:

Weakening the authority of parents: “Teachers know what is best for their kids because they are with them every day.” – DOE Secy. Miguel Cardona, May 19, 2023 (5).
Promoting harmful and irreversible “gender transitioning” among under-age children, often without parental knowledge or consent (6).
Enabling violent attacks and bomb threats by transgender activists (7), including the March 27 attack at Covenant School in Nashville that killed six children and staff members.

During the month of June, the DOE issued eight tweets in support of Pride Month (8). The June 1 tweet went far beyond DOE’s Congressionally mandated authority by offering this sweeping endorsement: “Our message to LGBTQI+ students, teachers, and staff as we begin #PrideMonth: ED has got your back.” (9)

Accordingly, at the annual Drag March in New York City, hundreds of drag performers chanted, “We’re here. We’re queer. We’re coming for your children.” (10) In response, pundits referred to the marchers as “demonic” and “evil.” (11) The liberal-leaning Gays Against Groomers reached a similar conclusion about persons who might say a child was born in the wrong body: “And telling them otherwise is EVIL.” (12)

Not surprisingly, five Republican presidential candidates are now calling for the abolition of the Department of Education (13):

Ron DeSantis: In response to the question, Are you in favor of eliminating any agencies: “We would do education, commerce, energy, and the IRS….With the Department of Education, we reverse all the transgender sports stuff. Women’s sports should be protected.”
Mike Pence: “Eliminate the U.S. Department of Education and convert some of its current budget to grants to states and localities, providing maximum flexibility in how to deploy federal dollars.”
Mike Pompeo: Asked by commentator John Stossel, “Should America abolish the Department of Education?” Pompeo replied, “Yes, you should get rid of it.”
Vivek Ramaswamy: “I would shut down the U.S. Department of Education…Do I favor 6-year-olds being educated on sexuality and gender ideology? No, I don’t.”
Tim Scott: “The federal government has absolutely no role in our education system whatsoever. So let’s get them out and let’s abolish the Department of Education.”

Lawmakers are urged to institute appropriate responses to curtail the illegal actions of the U.S. Department of Education.

SAVE Condemns Recent Wave of Bomb Threats and Attacks by Transgender Activists

June 13, 2023 – Over the weekend, transgender activists made bomb threats against Target stores in five states: Louisiana, Oklahoma, Vermont, New Hampshire, and New York. The threats represent the most recent escalation of unlawful actions by proponents of transgender rights.

SAVE has identified the following incidents that occurred in the past two weeks:

June 2, North Hollywood, CA: As a group of parents wearing “Leave Our Kids Alone” T-shirts were protesting an upcoming PRIDE Assembly at a local school, a group of LGBT activists rushed the parents, pushing and shoving them. One arrest was made (1).

June 3, Dallas, TX: During a “kid-friendly” drag show, a protester waved a sign saying, “Keep Kids Out Of Pride Month.” In response, trans activists repeatedly threatened, “Somebody is going to shoot you in the head.” (2)

June 6, Glendale, CA: Antifa member Erik Boyd was arrested for his involvement in a brawl with parents who were protesting Pride Month plans as they were being discussed at a school board meeting (3).

June 10, Lafayette, LA: Multiple Target stores were targeted with bomb threats by suspected LGBTQ activists for removing Pride merchandise (4).

June 10, Oklahoma City, OK: Several Target stores were evacuated after receiving bomb threats that warned, “We hid the bombs inside some product items. The bombs will detonate in several hours, guess which ones have the bombs. Time is ticking.” (5)

June 11, Vermont, New Hampshire, and New York: A spate of bomb threats led to the evacuation of numerous Target stores over the weekend after Target removed some of its Pride merchandise (6).

The wave of violence can be traced to a June 2022 Department of Education proposal that seeks to redefine sex to include “gender identity.” (7) That same month, the Trans Resistance Network began to issue inflammatory tweets that referred to transgender critics as “fascists” and made the claim that “Disarming trans people is a preparation for genocide.” (8)

These actions served to embolden and radicalize the transgender movement, presaging a surge of violent incidents around the country.

The attacks have come as members of the gay and lesbian community began to voice criticisms of the transgender movement (9). Gays Against Groomers recently deplored the fact that, “The radical alphabet activists have done more harm to our community than the biggest truly hateful bigot could ever hope to.” (10)

SAVE has identified 21 dangerous incidents committed by transgender activists since last October (11). SAVE condemns this campaign of violence as a deplorable example of domestic terrorism, and calls on authorities to take strong action.

Dwindling Support Among Gay Community for Transgender Agenda

Dwindling Support Among Gay Community for Transgender Agenda

June 8, 2023 – Gay teacher Ray Shelton recently addressed a meeting of the Glendale Unified School District. Twice named Teacher of the Year, Shelton explained to the board:

“Two plus two equals four. The world is not flat. Boys have penises; girls have vaginas. Gender is binary and cannot be changed. Biology is not bigotry. Heterosexuality is not hate. Gender confusion and gender delusion are deep psychological disorders. No caring professional or loving parent would ever support the chemical poisoning or surgical mutilation of a child’s genitalia….And I can also say this as a gay man.” (1)

The California incident illustrates the reality of dwindling support in the gay and lesbian community for the transgender agenda.

One of the strongest critics of transgender ideology is Gays Against Groomers, which describes itself as an “organization of gays against the sexualization, indoctrination and medicalization of children under the guise of LGBTQIA+.” (2)

Jaimee Michell, president of Gays Against Groomers, recently explained, “As a lesbian and the founder of Gays Against Groomers, I’m done with Pride. Because it’s become a degenerate kink-fest…They’re shoving it down everyone’s throats, especially children’s. It’s disgusting.” (3)

David Leatherwood, Gays Against Groomers secretary, charged, “I’m done with Pride because it’s become an embarrassment. As a gay man, I want nothing to do with it. All it has become now is a celebration of debauchery, indulgence in narcissism, victimhood, and grooming of kids.” (3)

Another outspoken critic is gay activist Simon Edge, who recently derided the transgender movement as “trying to redefine language, reorganize public toilets and changing rooms, kibosh women’s sport and take control of HR departments.” Edge concludes, “Some people don’t think the T belongs with the LGB.” (4)

Transgenderism has become emboldened in recent months by proposed changes to the federal Title IX sex discrimination law (5). Its advocates claim they are working for inclusion and equality. In fact, they are resorting to the use of coercion and violence (6) in their quest to eliminate fairness in women’s sports, persuade vulnerable children to undergo life-altering medical procedures, and encroach on parental rights (7).

Democratic and Republican lawmakers around the country are urged to join forces to oppose any bills being considered that are designed to promote the transgender agenda.

UN Women Must Renounce Its Support for Dishonest and Dangerous Transgender Agenda

UN Women Must Renounce Its Support for Dishonest and Dangerous Transgender Agenda

June 6, 2023 – The transgender agenda is a global movement that seeks to erase the distinctions between male and female, thereby weakening the nuclear family (1). Recent weeks have witnessed a rapid expansion of opposition by groups and persons from both the Left and Right.

One of the strongest critics is Gays Against Groomers, a liberal-leaning group that describes itself as an “organization of gays against the sexualization, indoctrination and medicalization of children under the guise of LGBTQIA+.” The group has chapters in Canada, Japan, and the United States (2).

Another vocal critic is British gay activist Simon Edge, who recently derided the transgender movement as “trying to redefine language, reorganise public toilets and changing rooms, kibosh women’s sport and take control of HR departments.” Edge concludes, “Some people don’t think the T belongs with the LGB.” (3)

Echoing many of these concerns, Canadian libertarian Wendy McElroy reveals, “Critics of the trans movement are rebelling against the forced redefinition of biology, the destruction of women’s sports by trans athletes, the hijacking of children’s education, the medical experiment of gender-transitioning children, and the intrusion of penises in women-only spaces.” (4)

In the United States, transgenderism has been emboldened by proposed changes to the Title IX sex discrimination law (5). In recent weeks, the stock prices of Anheuser-Busch (6) and Target (7) have plummeted due to their promotion of trans-themed products.

American media personality Megyn Kelly recently affirmed that she will not engage in the “dishonesty” of using preferred pronouns because they constitute a “gateway drug to genital mutilation.” (8) Twitter CEO Elon Musk is more candid in his analysis: “Gender-affirming care for minors is pure evil.” (9)

Transgenderism has been denounced by the Pope (10), Moslem clerics (11), and other religious groups (12).

To advance its agenda, transgender activists are stifling free speech and resorting to the use of violence (13).

Despite these concerns, UN Women has issued a number of pro-trans tweets in recent days (14), and published a series of reports and position statements in support of the transgender movement (15-17).

Lawmakers around the world are invited to contact UN Women and urge the agency to immediately renounce its support for transgenderism, or face major reductions in its financial support.

Contact information for UN Women liaison offices around the world is available online (18).

Children at Risk. What is Happening Now?

By Traditional Family Association

May 23, 2023

Translated from Czech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6NQxGhPXog

Once again, the insane LGTBI propaganda has taken off as it always does at this time. Many of you see this as a topic that doesn’t concern him, many of you are bored by this topic, or downright annoyed by this topic. Unfortunately for most people in this society they wave their hands over it and act like it doesn’t concern them.

Beware OMYL!

It mainly concerns them and it concerns children.

The point is that LGBT activists and non-profits are not targeting any minority at all, gays, lesbians, etc., that is not their target group of people. Their target group is children. And they’re mainly the children of you heterosexuals.

It’s been coming out basically in years past, but it wasn’t as obvious there, it’s obvious now.

Let’s start with the symbolism.

You’ve probably noticed that the rainbow flag, the LGBT flag, we’ve changed a little bit, we’ve added a pink and white tip. It’s a symbol of transgender, but it’s basically a symbol of transideology, and here it’s already a really big SURPRISE!

Because that transideology is what trans activists and non-profits are incredibly attacking children with right now. If we look to America where this is coming from, it’s gotten to the point where LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual) groups there are tearing themselves apart and distancing themselves from trans and queer. In our country, queer, are transvestites, are men who dress up in women’s clothes. These activists and non-profits are now targeting children in incredible ways.

If we’re talking pro-marriage for all that’s another thing that’s totally unacceptable for us to endorse. Because it legitimizes all of these ideologies and opens the door to exactly

All the countries that have passed this agenda, whether it’s marriage for all and other legislative procedures, not as you’re told on TV and in the media and by politicians that it hasn’t hurt anybody, that it’s been working there for 20, 30 years.

WRONG!

It has hurt there. It hurt thousands, maybe tens of thousands of just children and it hurt their parents. Because these countries are characterized by three things in particular:

A very low and ever-decreasing birth rate even for heterosexual couples.
Increased and increasing numbers of children suffering from gender dysphoria and it is only because of this propaganda and in many of them especially in the UK and progressive states of the USA, trans clinics have sprung up to re-educate children! This monstrosity has been noticed by gays and lesbians themselves and in some states they are distancing themselves heavily from it and starting to fight against it. That is why it is absolutely important that this year we really pay due attention to this and sweep it off the table. Because this year, this particular period that has started is absolutely groundbreaking and it is a turning point!

If anyone doesn’t believe that, I have two pieces of evidence for you that LGBT activists, and especially trans activists, are all about the children. It’s about four months ago, when in Germany, and I’ll take Germany as an example, because it’s closer to us than the UK or the US……Regenboren-portal.DE, which is a non-profit rainbow organisation that falls directly under the Ministry of Family Affairs, there was an advert targeting 10-year-olds recommending puberty blockers. Puberty blockers are used to treat adolescents who have real problems, but to offer puberty blockers to all kids and to advertise it, asking them: Am I transgender? How do I know? And then it says, “Take your time, try it. Do you feel better as a girl? Or do you feel more comfortable as a boy? The important thing is, you’re supposed to do well. Who you are at 10 doesn’t matter. Are you a man, are you a woman? You don’t have to decide right now.”

The second column says, “Take puberty blockers. You’re still very young, and you’re not in puberty yet, or you don’t want to go into puberty yet? Then take puberty blockers.

Puberty blockers have untold side effects in many children and adolescents, even lifelong consequences. What the activists claim (and I encounter this today and daily) is that it’s only short term and has short term effects and then it basically wears off. NO! IT WILL NOT EXPIRE.

After a few days, this non-profit was forced to take down this ad because there was such strong opposition from parents that they pulled the ad. But as you can see the progression, this rainbow progression is now really targeted at children.

It’s crazy. For those for whom this is not enough, I have another message:

A photo has surfaced in Berlin’s underground railway. For the city district… they’re looking for kindergarten teachers and tutors. These posters are several meters long! How many of you would like your children to be educated in a kindergarten?

The text of the poster is: “Does it play any role at all? Queer and one or one, a good tutor or governess. That’s important to us. Sign up.”

This is already heavily over the edge, because the so-called Queer, in our country it’s called transvestites, so it’s the closest thing to that. They’re biologically men who don’t even want to become women and just have this fetish that they like to dress up in women’s clothes.

I have now ordered a book which is from the USA, it’s called ‘Queer and Gender’. This book in the state of Illinois is mandatory in school libraries, it is in the form of a comic book. If the state school administrators decide to remove these books, they will not get any money from the state. What’s in this book? A grown, hardened adult’s stomach churns. For example, there are depictions of two ten-year-old boys giving oral pleasure. This is presented to children as part of their school curriculum. The next book is even “cooler”. In this book for children aged 10 and up (this age is the target group for the lobbyists because they are pre-pubescent children) they are taught how to clean their anus before sex, or how two men orally satisfy themselves, or two women, etc. In this book, they even learn what a “skit” is, which is a sexual practice in which excrement is ingested. It’s in the article and in the photo.

When a FB user writes to me that he doesn’t care, that there are pictures like this on the internet and kids will find it, I got mad and made a video on fb, the transcript of which you are now reading.

These people need to wake up very quickly.

If we don’t stop this, your kids will have access to decide for themselves what and who they want to be. Indoctrination is very powerful.

If you take trans people who read them fairy tales or show off in front of them, telling them how great it is to be something other than who they are, kids will pick up on that. Because they’re kids. They like the colors, they like the comedy, they like it when someone smiles at them and does shit to them, but the consequences are absolutely drastic.

I’m in touch with many groups and other “rainbow” organizations in the US, the UK, or even Australia and Canada (Canada is the absolute worst) that are against child abuse because it’s already child abuse.

This is legalized child abuse, and they are standing up against it and fighting against it.

It needs to be stopped from the start.

That’s why it’s imperative that this progression not be given a chance in our country.

It is at its peak in the west, it will break and it is breaking.

If we keep this up, I’m telling you, we’re going to save a lot of kids’ lives.

We live in a time when many people are in financial trouble, when many people are losing their assets, when many people are in a bad way. I think people can lose everything material, the tangible, but the last thing they lose is their children. They shouldn’t lose their children, they should fight to the last for that.

Those who don’t understand this or make light of it are aiding and abetting these psychopaths, there is no other way to call them.

Claiming something about human rights is not what these NGO’s are demanding, these are mere demands.

They are not human rights because all human rights are granted to all groups of people in the western world.

Don’t fall for these cheap slogans. Many of you don’t have the balls to dig into the details like I or other people do. Cheap slogans are false, untrue.

We have tried and experienced this for ourselves on Czech TV with Mrs Jílková, where many lies were told, especially at the end of the programme. We will, of course, contradict these lies in time. However, it is not such a priority for us at the moment.

The priority now is for people to find out what the aim of these lobbyists is.

Let me answer the question, why are they doing this?

Why are they targeting children?

The answer is simple:

Look for money behind everything.

In all the states where this LGBT propaganda has been legalized, where this insane progression has been allowed, trans clinics have sprung up many times over to reassign children. There’s a huge business in it. Kids who take puberty blockers, which is nothing more than chemical castration, which is used on severe sex offenders who, for example, leave correctional facilities and have long term side effects, it’s a huge business for the farmalobes.

What we said in Jilek, that we’re going to be basically selling children, that it’s legalizing the business of children, so yes, that’s another huge business.

Look for the money behind everything.

Let everybody make money however they want, but don’t bring children into it. It’s terrible.

There’s a lot of posts on Twitter, I didn’t even have to look much. That’s why we need to show people where this is going.

It’s a monstrosity and it needs to be stopped.

Republican Lawmakers Lead National Movement to Thwart the ‘Gender Agenda’

WASHINGTON / March 8, 2023 – The “Gender Agenda” refers to the movement to promote gender transitioning, curtail parental rights, allow biological males to compete in women’s sports, curtail free speech, and diminish due process on college campuses. A major goal of the Gender Agenda is to overhaul the Title IX law to redefine sex to include “gender identity.”

Republican lawmakers across the country have been at the forefront of efforts to stop the Gender Agenda. Following is a listing of measures introduced thus far in Congress in 2023:

Greg Steube: Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act (H.R. 734) [1]
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Protect Children’s Innocence Act (H.R. 8731) [2]
Jeff Van Drew: My Choice, My Child Act of 2023 (H.R. 216) [3]
Julia Letlow: Parents Bill of Rights (H.R.5) [4]
Debbie Lesko: Parental Rights Amendment (H. J. Res 38) [5]
Jim Banks: Protecting Minors from Medical Malpractice Act (H.R. 1276) [6]
Tim Scott: PROTECT Kids Act (S. 200) [7]
Tommy Tuberville: Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2023 (S. 613) [8]

In addition, Congressman Jim Banks is spearheading a new group called the House Anti-Woke Caucus, now with over 25 members [9.

The following state-level bills already have been enacted into law in 2023:

Tennessee: SB 0001 – Prohibits minors from receiving puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and transgender surgeries [10]
Tennessee: HB 0009 – Outlaws drag shows in public spaces and restricts them to age-appropriate venues [11]
South Dakota: Help Not Harm Act (HB 1080) – Prohibits certain medical and surgical interventions on minor patients [12]
Mississippi: Regulate Experimental Adolescent Procedures (REAP) Act (H.B. 1125) – Forbids any person to “knowingly provide gender transition procedures to any person under eighteen years of age” or “engage in conduct that aids or abets” such procedures. [13]

To date, SAVE has identified 82 bills in 28 states, including proposals that address Parental Rights (36 bills), Gender Transitioning (29 bills), and Women’s Sports (16 bills).

At the recent Conservative Political Action Conference held near Washington DC, SAVE sponsored a booth titled, “Stop the Gender Agenda.” [14] At the booth, 377 individuals signed a petition to Stop the Gender Agenda. Signers included the Lieutenant Governor of a southern state, a woman who transitioned to the male sex and later de-transitioned to being female, and other persons from Spain, Peru, Austria, Norway, Sweden, and Japan.

Clandestine Gender Transitioning at California School Triggers Lawsuit, Call for Legislative Hearings

Clandestine Gender Transitioning at California School Triggers Lawsuit, Call for Legislative Hearings

WASHINGTON / January 30, 2023 – A lawsuit has been filed against a California school district for promoting the gender transitioning of an 11-year-old girl without parental knowledge. Many school districts across the nation have adopted similar policies that prevent parents from being informed about their own children changing their gender.

The lawsuit alleges the girl was seeing a counselor at Sierra View Elementary School in Chico, California for mental health issues. One day the girl told the counselor she felt “like a boy.” Subsequently, the school began to secretly transition the girl without parental knowledge or consent. Subsequently, the girl’s mental health began to deteriorate (1).

The girl later changed schools and reverted to her female identity. The lawsuit against the Chico Unified School District was filed earlier this month (2).

A recent report from the American Principles Project notes that transgenderism is marked by a “deadly and destructive combination of ideology, politics, and profits,” and reveals the global market value of sex reassignment surgery to be more than $316 million (3).

The unregulated growth of gender transitioning has resulted in a growing number of persons, known as “detransitioners,” who have decided to revert to their original sex (4).

Sixty-three leading organizations are now calling on Congress to “Conduct hearings on experimental medical practices involving gender transition of under-age children, e.g., puberty blocking drugs, opposite-sex hormones, breast removal, and castration.” (5)

In addition, state lawmakers are being called up to hold hearings to assess the science, ethics, and financial backing of gender transitioning of underage students. To date, federal courts in Florida, North Dakota, and Texas have ruled in favor of placing restrictions on underage gender transitioning surgery (6).

In June, the U.S. Department of Education proposed a new Title IX regulation that would redefine the meaning of “sex” to include “gender identity.” Such a change would serve to promote gender transitioning and have profound, long-lasting effects on child safety, the family structure, and parental rights (7).

A ‘Naked Assault on Civil Rights:’ Congress Must Stop Attempts to Hijack Title IX and Subvert the Constitution

WASHINGTON / January 12, 2023 – Title IX is the 50-year-old law that was enacted to stop sex discrimination in schools. But now, groups are attempting to use Title IX to promote a sweeping unconstitutional agenda with harmful effects on students, families, and on society.

Recent months have witnessed three attempts to make far-reaching changes to Title IX:

In June, the Department of Education proposed a new Title IX regulation that would redefine the meaning of “sex,” muzzle free speech, and decimate due process (1).
In September, 19 Democratic senators denounced the presumption of innocence in Title IX proceedings (2). The senators also called for an end to cross-examination, facilely ignoring a landmark Supreme Court decision that described cross-examination as the “‘greatest legal engine ever invented for the discovery of truth.” (3)
In December, the Students’ Access to Freedom and Educational Rights (SAFER) Act was introduced in both chambers of Congress (4). The bill proposed to make sweeping changes to campus Title IX adjudication procedures — changes that are reminiscent of practices seen in the former Soviet Union (5).

The proposals would curtail constitutionally protected free speech and due process protections, eliminate fairness in women’s sports, promote gender transitioning among under-age students, marginalize the role of parents, and exact other harmful effects. Numerous lawmakers have spoken out in opposition to these proposed changes (6).

These changes recently were described by a leading policy organization as a “naked assault on civil rights.” (7)

In response to these and other worrisome developments, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy proposed a multi-point Commitment to America (8). Five of the principles pertain to the recent attempts to reinvent Title IX:

Conduct rigorous oversight to rein in governmental abuse of power, such as an executive branch agency exceeding its legal authority by seeking to redefine the meaning of “sex” (9).
Curb wasteful spending by government agencies, such as the Department of Education (10).
Advance the Parents’ Bill of Rights (11).
Defend fairness by ensuring that only women can compete in women’s sports (12).
Uphold free speech guarantees and assure religious freedom (13).

SAVE urges members of Congress to move quickly to implement provisions of the Commitment to America and stop the Title IX take-over.

Flawed Biden Proposal May Irreparably Harm Title IX. Lawmakers Are Urged to File Comments.

WASHINGTON / August 22, 2022 – The Biden Title IX proposal is attracting a growing wave of criticism by lawmakers, attorneys general, 150 organizations, and editorialists (1). The criticisms underscore a concern that the Department of Education proposal is so deeply flawed that it is discrediting the nation’s broader effort to end sex discrimination. SAVE invites lawmakers around the nation to file Comments urging that the Department of Education withdraw its ill-considered proposal.

The federal Title IX law states, “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”

But the Biden draft Title IX regulation, released on June 23, ignores the plain language and clear intent of the Title IX law, which is designed to curb sex discrimination against males and females.

By means of 175 lawsuit decisions, federal judges have delineated a series of due process protections to protect male students from false allegations (2). In a recent editorial, Rick Manning, president of Americans for Limited Government, accused the Department of Education of promoting “guilty without remorse regulations” in which the “concept of justice in America is turned on its head.” (3)

Equally strong criticisms have been leveled by advocates for women’s rights. The Independent Women’s Voice, for example, charges the Biden proposal will “subvert” the rights of parents and “destroy” the purpose of Title IX (4).

The Biden Title IX plan proposes to alter the definition of “sex” to include “gender identity.” This signifies a repudiation of congressional intent, which never contemplated such a change.

The proposed “gender identity” language would provide a formidable legal foundation to the “gender identity movement” (5). Recent articles have documented how the gender identity movement has established a presence in schools across the nation:

Nationwide, the GSA Network serves as an umbrella organization for more than 4,000 “gender and sexuality alliances” in 40 states. The organization recommends that school advisors not advise parents about their child’s participation in such clubs (6).
In California, the Sacramento City Unified School District has adopted a “queer theory–based pedagogy that encourages teachers to ‘normalize gender exploration,’ confront their ‘cisgender privilege,’ and maintain strict secrecy when facilitating a child’s gender or sexual transition.” (7)
In Oregon, the Portland public schools have launched a new curriculum that teaches students to ”begin exploring ‘the infinite gender spectrum.’” (8)

Under the Biden plan, questioning such initiatives would constitute sex discrimination and therefore be illegal. This would violate First Amendment free speech guarantees (9).

Lawmakers are called upon to submit Comments to the Department of Education, urging the DOE to abandon its deeply flawed proposal. Step-by-step instructions to submit Comments are available online (10).

The deadline to submit Comments is September 12.
