I Prayed have prayed
Lord, spare our girls this horrible change! Reverse the administration's decision, and restore Title IX protections for women.
Reading Time: 3 minutes

The Biden administration has finally made its Title IX changes reality, erasing protections for girls and women across America.

From UncoverDC. Biden’s Department of Education waved its magic wand on April 19, gutting decades of protections stemming from the Education Amendments of 1972 known as Title lX. Identity politics is at the core of the newly minted and final Title lX regulations. Transgender individuals are now included, making Title lX officially inclusive of men based on what they believe their gender to be. That means transgender individuals will have access to expanded opportunities and women’s spaces. The draft regulations were initially released on June 23, 2022, with public comment available. The estimated net cost of the final regulations resourced and summarized will be $18.8 million over the next ten years. …

Pray for your fellow intercessor.

 

According to ed.gov, “Title IX applies to schools, local and state educational agencies, and other institutions that receive federal financial assistance from the Department. These recipients include approximately 17,600 local school districts, over 5,000 postsecondary institutions, charter schools, for-profit schools, libraries, and museums. Also included are vocational rehabilitation agencies and education agencies of 50 states, the District of Columbia, and territories of the United States.”

The implications of this revised Omnibus rule are far-reaching. It revises and undermines women’s rights, free speech, and due process for women and young men in institutions K-12 and higher that receive federal funding. These extra-statutory regulations will also affect due process for young men who face accusations of sexual harassment when they go into effect on August 1.

The Biden administration removed many of the due process protections established by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, who worked under the Trump administration. DeVos advocated for the proper handling of “dating violence as a sexual misconduct category that must be addressed and mandating supportive measures for alleged victims of assault.” More importantly, she bolstered “due-process protections for accused students while relieving schools of some legal liabilities.”

Biden and others in his administration have stated the new rule will not affect women’s sports, but his reassurances are feeble at best. Almost daily, there are new instances of males participating in women’s sports at all levels. Even though it does not directly stipulate male participation in women’s sports, the revised rule will most likely open even more doors to men because of the current environment.

Male participation in women’s sports has already wreaked havoc on women’s lives, including endangering and injuring girls and women in some cases. Sadly and increasingly, young women find themselves fighting for the original Title lX protections, whether it be privacy in women’s spaceswomen’s prisons, bathrooms, and locker rooms or the creeping infringement on the opportunities that were foundational to the law. …

Megyn Kelly invited May Mailman, the Director of IWF and a former legal advisor in the Trump administration, to speak about the changes to Title lX. The original Title lX regulations were a game changer for women in academics and athletics. While now taken for granted, the original regulations meaningfully changed the lives of countless females. Sex-specific dorms, sex-specific bathrooms, sex-specific programming, and a whole range of sex-specific opportunities were put into law as a result of the 1972 Title lX to expressly protect opportunities for women and to protect their safety and privacy. Title lX allowed for the recognition of two sexes to ensure equal opportunities for both males and females. Mailman believes the new regulations will be devastating for young girls and women.

“Each one of the changes is a massive legal change, often one that affects a core constitutional right. … there are massive First Amendment incursions as well. The definition of harassment here is being stretched to encompass speech that ought to be protected. That the Supreme Court says is protected. The 1577-page document is essentially an assault on women’s rights, on men’s rights, and on all of our constitutional rights.”

For example, using improper pronouns (“misgendering”) will be legitimized as harassment under the new regulations. As a consequence of these massive changes, women will no longer be protected based on their biological sex. The new regulations will, instead, protect “based on gender identity, meaning that women must allow men into their spaces, allow men to take their scholarships, allow men in every single private area based on gender identity [if] a man says that he is entitled to be there,” said Mailman. Notably, even before the new regulations, there have been significant changes in how girls and women are treated. …

Unless it is one of the shooting or equestrian sports such as barrel racing, biological males shouldn’t compete against biological females. Biological males shouldn’t be in women’s locker rooms or bathrooms. Democrats say that Republicans are waging a war on women but the only hateful misogynist language directed at me came from liberal democrats. The democrats are just using that boy to push their agenda.

Legally there has got to be a way to protect women from being harrased and intruded apon. The Bill of Rights and the Constitution should cover this!! I am sure the Constitution and Bill of Rights cover this. How do we get the Biden administration to enforce and protect women.
