The Department of Education\u00a0announced<\/a> on Monday that it has rescinded Biden-era resolution agreements to several schools that imposed the previous administration\u2019s \u201cradical transgender agenda.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The Education Department\u2019s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) uses resolution agreements to require schools to resolve noncompliance with federal civil rights laws. The Department said previous Democrat administrations \u201c<\/span>distorted the law contrary to its plain meaning to police discrimination on the basis of \u2018gender identity,\u2019 not sex, and imposed resolution agreements with no legal foundation, but rather, based on an ideologically-driven interpretation of Title IX.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n The Department said previous administrations admonished school districts with Title IX violations over actions like \u201cimproper use of preferred pronouns\u201d or \u201casking questions about a student\u2019s preferred \u2018gender.’\u201d Unlike the Biden administration, the Trump administration interprets Title IX as pertaining to sex, rather than the made-up concept of \u201cgender identity.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cToday, the Trump Administration is removing the unnecessary and unlawful burdens that prior Administrations imposed on schools in its relentless pursuit of a radical transgender agenda. While previous Administrations launched Title IX investigations based on \u2018misgendering,\u2019 the Trump Administration is investigating allegations of girls and women being injured by men on their sports team or feeling violated by men in their intimate spaces,\u201d Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Kimberly Richey said in a statement.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cToday is yet another demonstration of the Trump Administration\u2019s commitment to uphold the law, protect our students, and restore common sense. No longer will the federal government force educational institutions to violate the law or punish them for upholding it,\u201d she continued.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Department of Education said OCR is rescinding certain portions of six resolution agreements \u201cthat were reached through the illegal, heavy-handed manipulation of Title IX\u201d with:<\/span><\/p>\n The Department pointed out that the Biden administration expanded Title IX to enforce discrimination law based on \u201cgender identity\u201d \u2014 an action found illegal by a federal court in 2025.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cUpon taking office in January 2025, the Trump Administration immediately returned to enforcing the Trump Administration\u2019s 2020 Title IX rule, which properly safeguards against discrimination on the basis of sex,\u201d the Education Department said in a press release. <\/span><\/p>\n The department noted that Title IX prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex as a condition of receiving federal funding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Katherine Hamilton is a political reporter for Breitbart News.
