State school board resolution would oppose Biden's proposed Title IX protections for LGBTQ students,
urges local schools to defy rulesCOLUMBUS, Ohio – A proposed resolution likely to be discussed at next week’s Ohio State Board of Education meeting opposes a proposal by the U.S. Department of Education to enhance Title IX protections for gay and transgender kids and encourages local schools to defy the proposal.
Opponents slammed the resolution as a politically motivated move to stir culture wars in an election season and said the proposal targets vulnerable children.
The resolution claims biological sex is not fluid or changeable. It opposes the Biden administration’s proposed rules that would include sexual orientation and gender identity in Title IX, which withholds federal funding from education programs practicing sex-based discrimination.
Schools that violate Title IX could face federal funding cuts for programs that support everything from classroom instruction to free and reduced lunch programs.
