During the Obama and Biden administrations, federal officials investigated several school districts for violating Title IX, the law banning sex discrimination in education. What was their offense? They refused to accept that Title IX includes “gender identity,” an idea that lawmakers never considered when they passed the law in 1972.
This stance was unacceptable to the radical political appointees in the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) at the Education Department, so they opened investigations that ultimately produced so-called “voluntary” resolution agreements between the department and the school districts.
