Biden Administration Hears From 132,000 and Counting on Title IX Rule

The Biden administration’s proposed rule for transgender students goes both too far and not far enough, according to the more than 132,000 comments submitted ahead of today’s deadline. The controversial rule, released last month, would prohibit blanket bans barring transgender students from participating in the sport consistent with their gender identity by amending regulations regarding Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Title IX is a federal gender-equity law that protects students from sex or gender discrimination.
