LETTER: Silence on Title IX changes speaks volumes

Silence of rewrite on Title IX speaks volumes

The 2024-25 school year is well underway, and so is the Biden/Harris re-write of Title IX. As of Aug. 1, ’24 the Biden-Harris Administration began enforcing Title IX rules and regulations which will do the following:

1. Will allow males who claim transgender status to enter women’s bathrooms and locker rooms;

2. Receive women’s scholarships;

3. Live in women’s dorm rooms in schools that receive public funds;

4. Students and faculty must use the “preferred pronouns” of transgender-identifying individuals;

5. Prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender-identity instead of biological sex, obliterating the legal distinction between men and women;

6. Transgender-identifying individuals are now empowered to sue schools for harassment if they dare oppose transgender ideology;

7. If any female student is uncomfortable with and vocally opposes sharing private spaces with biological males, she is now guilty of discrimination under the new rules;

8. In cases of sexual assault, law enforcement will not be involved, allowing university officials to act as judge, jury and executioner.

As Americans, is this really what we want in our schools? Title IX rewrite is implemented by the Biden-Harris Administration, but I don’t see any of our Democrats in New Mexico opposing this radical, far-reaching transformation of our education system. Where is our NM congressional delegation and our governor on this matter? Oh wait, they’re all Democrats! Their silence says volumes. This is an issue that will never be mentioned in any Democrat campaign. The less you know, the better.

If you have daughters and granddaughters in school, perhaps a change in New Mexico’s decades-old politics would be a god-send. A vote for a Democrat president would continue this egregious, radical Title IX rule. The opportunity awaits you on November 5, 2024.
