Education Department declares June 'Title IX Month'
Share this @internewscast.com


The Education Department announced Monday that June, typically known as Pride Month, would be honored as “Title IX Month” as it works to undo Biden-era transgender protections.

The department said the move is “in honor of the fifty-third anniversary of Title IX of the Educational Amendments (1972) being signed into law.” 

“June will now be dedicated to commemorating women and celebrating their struggle for, and achievement of, equal educational opportunity,” its press release states.

The Education Department will also highlight steps it has taken to “reverse the Biden Administration’s legacy of undermining Title IX” and says it will step up measures to “protect women in line with the true purpose of Title IX,” it added.

Trump administration on protections for transgender athletes

The move comes after the Trump administration has aimed to undo protections for transgender athletes, arguing it is unfair for transgender women and girls to play on teams that match their gender identity. 

The Department of Education has also launched numerous investigations against K-12 districts and higher education institutions for allowing transgender individuals on women’s sports teams.  

“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,” she added.

Organization records over 1K incidents against LGBTQ community in past year

As Pride Month begins, LGBTQ rights organization GLAAD released a report indicating it recorded more than 1,000 incidents within the past year targeting the community, with more than half of those specifically going after transgender and gender-nonconforming Americans.

“This goes along with the really intense conversations that we’re having right now around trans rights,” said GLAAD analyst Sarah Moore.
