(The Center Square) – Education leaders and organizations are weighing in following the Trump administration's formal rescission of the Biden administration's Title IX rule, discussing what it means for student protections in education.
Now that the U.S. Department of Education has formally rescinded the Biden administration's Title IX rule and reinstated the Title IX regulations adopted by the Trump administration back in 2020, supporters note that this change will protect girls in sports, while critics say this will put more LGBTQ+ students in danger.
