Some Friday Reads

 Some good news from the USSC for a change; this time, it is about retaining, at least for the time being, the original intent of Title IX.  The Biden administration has been allowing the HRC to run things in this area, and it is catastrophic for women and girls in education.

The alphabet soup crowd is a completely separate issue.  There is no excuse misinterpreting "sex" to mean anything other than biology.

In other words, queer theory weirdness about "identity" has no business here.

Snip:


The measure at issue in the disputes was announced by the Biden administration in April and expanded Title IX's protections to LGBTQ students. The landmark 50-year-old law prohibits education entities that receive federal funds from discriminating on the basis of sex. The rule took effect Aug. 1, but only in less than half of the states. Federal judges have temporarily blocked it in 26 states as a result of legal challenges.

The court fights before the Supreme Court involved two groups of states that challenged three provisions of the rule: The first recognizes that Title IX's prohibition on sex discrimination covers gender identity; the second broadens the definition of "hostile-environment harassment" to include harassment based on gender identity; and the third clarifies that a school violates Title IX when it prohibits transgender students from using restrooms and other facilities consistent with their gender identity.
