Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
This resolution celebrates the 54-year legacy of Title IX, the 1972 law that prohibits sex discrimination in federally funded education programs. The measure recognizes significant progress made under Title IX, including increased educational and athletic opportunities for women and girls, higher graduation rates, and greater access to professional schools and nontraditional fields. However, the resolution expresses concern that the Trump administration is undermining Title IX protections by shifting enforcement responsibilities from the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights to the Department of Justice, which the resolution argues lacks education expertise. The resolution calls on the executive branch to continue protecting all students from sex discrimination, including discrimination based on pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex stereotypes, and it condemns what it characterizes as the weaponization of Title IX to harm vulnerable students. This is a symbolic measure expressing the House's position on education civil rights policy rather than creating new law or appropriating funds.
