EPPC Scholars Submit Comment Opposing Proposed Title IX Rule
Rachel N. Morrison & Mary Rice Hasson
EPPC scholars submitted a public comment opposing a proposed rule by the U.S. Department of Education that would alter and expand the scope of sex discrimination in Title IX regulations. The Proposed Rule would define discrimination on the basis of sex in education to include (“at a minimum”) discrimination on the basis of: sexual orientation, gender identity, sex stereotypes, sex characteristics, and pregnancy or related conditions.
As the scholars summarize:
The Proposed Rule radically rewrites Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, landmark federal civil rights law that prohibits sex discrimination in education. As proposed, the rule is arbitrary and capricious, exceeds statutory authority, and is unlawful and unconstitutional. The rationale for the proposed changes is unsupported by substantial evidence. The Proposed Rule contradicts long-standing scientific understandings of the human person and places ideology ahead of sound policy. It turns the clock back on girls’ and women’s rights, tramples parental rights, harms children’s interests, and ignores religious freedom and free speech of students, employees, and religious educational institutions.
