Education Department rescinds Title IX protections for LGBTQ students
Original: Education Department formally rescinds Title IX protections for LGBTQ students
The US Department of Education has formally rescinded Title IX guidance that protected LGBTQ students from discrimination in schools and colleges. The move reverses earlier interpretations of the federal civil rights law that treated discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity as sex discrimination. Advocacy groups are expected to challenge or protest the decision, while supporters argue the department is restoring the original meaning of the statute.
Why now: A federal agency just revoked civil rights protections for LGBTQ students, a controversial policy change with immediate effects on schools nationwide.
