A resolution celebrating the accomplishments of title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, also known as the Patsy Takemoto Mink Equal Opportunity in Education Act, and recognizing the need to continue pursuing the goal of educational opportunities for all women and girls.
- Introduced
- Adopted by Senate
Overview
This resolution celebrates Title IX protections and affirms commitment to educational opportunities for women and girls. While framed broadly, Title IX has been weaponized to override religious schools' and families' rights regarding sex-designated facilities, sports, and policies.
Why it matters: A resolution supporting Title IX without carving out religious liberty protections signals potential enforcement pressure on Christian schools' ability to maintain single-sex programs, facilities, and policies based on biological sex, which conflicts with many families' convictions about protecting privacy and maintaining sex-separate spaces.
