Biden Title IX Rule Changes Threaten Religious Liberty for Thousands in Schools and on Campuses
Washington, D.C.—The following statement regarding the Biden administration’s changes to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 that redefines “sex” in federal law may be attributed to Justin Butterfield, deputy general counsel and chair of the education practice group at First Liberty Institute:
The Biden administration’s new rule puts thousands of students and teachers with religious beliefs that disagree with the Left’s definitions of sex and gender at risk. First Liberty has already had to come to the defense of a college biology professor who was fired from his job for teaching biological facts about sex. No rule should make America’s teachers and students fear advocating for their deepest convictions.
