The Department of Education has declared June as “Title IX Month” as it takes actions to protect women’s rights in schools. The declaration seeks to honor the 53rd anniversary of Title IX of the Educational Amendments being signed into law.
“June will now be dedicated to commemorating women and celebrating their struggle for, and achievement of, equal educational opportunity,” the department announced. “Throughout the month, the Department will highlight actions taken to reverse the Biden Administration’s legacy of undermining Title IX and announce additional actions to protect women in line with the true purpose of Title IX.”
The first “Title IX Month” initiatives include investigations into the University of Wyoming and Jefferson County Public Schools in Colorado for permitting biological males to engage in female-only spaces.
An investigation was launched into the University of Wyoming after it was discovered that a man had joined a sorority. A Title IX investigation was also launched into Jefferson County Public Schools after it was learned that young students would be forced to share overnight accommodations with those of the same “gender-identity” rather than biological sex.
“The Department is recognizing June as ‘Title IX Month’ to honor women’s hard-earned civil rights and demonstrate the Trump Administration’s unwavering commitment to restoring them to the fullest extent of the law. Title IX provides women protections on the basis of sex in all educational activities, which include their rights to equal opportunity in sports and sex-segregated intimate spaces, including sororities and living accommodations,” said Education Secretary Linda McMahon. “This Administration will fight on every front to protect women’s and girls’ sports, intimate spaces, dormitories and living quarters, and fraternal and panhellenic organizations.”
Earlier this year, the Education Department and the Department of Justice launched the Title IX Special Investigations Team (SIT) to protect students from gender ideology in schools, including males in female sports and locker rooms.
