For 54 years, #TitleIX has protected students from discrimination—but Trump has consistently undermined Title IX's protections for survivors of sexual violence & LGBTQI+ students. Our members will never stop fighting to protect EVERY student from harassment & discrimination.

Today’s Ed and Workforce hearing tried to weaponize inclusive policies that simply give kids—disabled, marginalized, and queer kids—a fair shot. These policies work to reverse systemic discrimination and meet the needs of all students. Why are my colleagues so against that?
