WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) – The Department of Education (DOE) released proposed regulations Thursday that would expand Title IX, the 1972 law that prohibits discrimination in education based on sex, to include “gender identity.”
The regulations include allowing “transgenders” to use bathrooms according to the sex they falsely identity as and enforcing the use of preferred pronouns.
In a statement released Thursday, the DOE said that the proposed regulations would “strengthen protections for LGBTQI+ students who face discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. And they will require that school procedures for complaints of sex discrimination, including sexual violence and other sex-based harassment, are fair to all involved.”
According to the DOE, the decision to expand Title IX protections to include “gender identity” was a result of an executive order signed by President Joe Biden that sought to combat “discrimination” against homosexuals and the gender-confused. The DOE also cites the Supreme Court’s ruling in Bostock vs. Clayton County, which ruled that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act protects “gender identity” and sexual orientation in addition to biological sex in the workplace.
