Former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos slammed the Biden administration's Title IX overhaul, saying the statute created to protect women would be used to 'harm' them.
The Biden administrationon Friday related to sex discrimination and sexual harassment under Title IX, redefining sex to include claimed gender identities. The rules did not address transgender participation in sports, which is part of separate rulemaking likely to be finalized near the end of the year.
DeVos explained that the new rules require that boys be allowed in girls’ bathrooms as early as elementary school, and she said that even these rules would likely have an effect on women’s sports, aside from the forthcoming rules specific to that topic.
Nicole Neily, president of Parents Defending Education, added, “Extending Title IX to cover gender identity means that schools will no longer have discretion over whether — or how — to provide certain services and activities to students on the basis of self-declared gender identity.” One major concern is the changes to due process protections for students accused of sexual misconduct on college campuses that the Education Department, under DeVos, worked to ensure during the 2020 rulemaking process.
