Betsy DeVos has proposed a rule that would expand the use of religious exemptions by schools under Title IX.
Religious exemptions allow schools to ignore portions of Title IX if they don't align with their religious practice – like being LGBTQ, having an abortion, or having sex.

DeVos proposed changes would allow religious schools to punish students for things like
❌Being LGBTQ
❌Taking birth control
❌Having an abortion
❌Experiencing intimate partner violence

#TitleX is meant to ensure discrimination never forces someone out of school. But changes would allow schools to expel students who already face discrimination and/or harassment.
This is just another example of DeVos valuing schools and religion over students' education.
