We know what a woman is, and our politicians and laws should too.

** Biden Administration Unilaterally Erasing 50 Years of Female Rights ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Sen. Joni Ernst and Riley Gaines in The Hill: Last month, the Biden administration’s Department of Education proposed new rules that disregard Title IX and, if implemented, will not only allow but require schools to let athletes compete on teams consistent with their “gender identity.” In other words, the Biden administration is unilaterally erasing 50 years of female rights and turning all women’s sports into a free-for-all, unless the school affirmatively determines that allowing biological males to participate would jeopardize fairness or safety for a particular team.

** True “Teacher Appreciation” Means Fixing the Discipline Crisis ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
A 2022 survey of teachers by Chalkboard Review found that most of them listed student behavioral issues as their number-one reason for leaving the profession. Who could blame these teachers and now-former teachers for their frustration? They did not sign up to work in chaos. Yet chaos is exactly the climate in many of our nation’s schools. In a survey by consulting firm EAB, 77% of school employees cited student behavior as a top concern. 84% of respondents said COVID lockdowns had made behavioral issues worse.

** Independent Women’s Law Center Files 4th Circuit Court of Appeals Brief in Support of Female Student-Athletes ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Independent Women’s Law Center last week filed an amicus brief in support of female student-athletes in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit. The case, B.P.J. v. West Virginia State Board of Education, involves a challenge to a state statute that prohibits males from competing on women’s sports teams. A lower federal court rejected the challenge, concluding that West Virginia’s law is not discriminatory because it tracks Title IX, the federal law that requires equal athletic opportunities for males and females.

** Microschools Show Macro Potential ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
In the pre-COVID era of education, very few Americans had ever heard of a microschool. But as COVID and the ensuing school closures rolled across the country, parents were forced to either get creative or have their kids miss out on learning. Parents in the San Francisco Bay Area made headlines for banding together in small groups, hiring teachers on their own, and paying upwards of $1,000 per student per month for their children to be part of a “learning pod.” When the pandemic had passed, but school closures had not, these tiny virtual classrooms became tiny in-person classrooms. Without perhaps knowing the term, these parents had created microschools.
