Here's what you need to know about the Biden administration’s rewrite of #TitleIX: What is Title IX?
Title IX is a federal civil rights law passed in 1972 that prohibits schools that receive federal funds from discriminating on the basis of sex. The law contains 37 words:

“No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”

THREAD: One way we’re defending education is through litigation, and a week ago, before our public launch, we filed a motion to intervene in an important new education case in NYC.
