Here’s what’s at risk: -
Legal Recognition: Redefines sex as “biological sex recorded at birth,” erasing recognition of transgender people, and especially trans youth
-
LGBTQ+ Civil Rights Protections: Rolls back LGBTQ+ inclusion in Title IX and eliminates federal civil rights investigations by closing the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights
-
Gutted Public Education: Eliminates the U.S. Department of Education, impacting significant funding streams for schools and school staff positions, especially Title I schools. Increased reliance on vouchers to bolster private and religious schools
-
Increased Censorship: Allows parents to sue schools with a higher judicial standard than victims of sex discrimination, prioritizing control of a small slice of parents over evidence-based policies.
Support GLSEN as we fight at local, state, and federal levels to protect LGBTQ+ youth from these harmful policies.
