Biden Administration’s Title IX Rewrite Tanks

In step with Joe Biden’s failed presidency, a federal judge on January 9 struck down the administration’s attempt to redefine “sex” in Title IX to mean “gender identity.” The administration’s 1,500-page rewrite was designed to allow, among other things, a full-fledged invasion of men and boys into girls’ and women’s sports, including the use of women’s bathrooms and locker rooms. From the beginning, the proposed new Title IX rule faced stiff opposition from advocates of women’s rights, conservatives, and supporters of the original purpose of Title IX.

While the Biden rule became effective in 24 of 50 states last August 1st, the U.S. Supreme Court that same month allowed lower court injunctions against it to stand, in an abbreviated opinion known as Department of Education v. Louisiana and Cardona v. Tennessee. These injunctions stemmed from lawsuits filed against the proposed Title IX rewrite by the 26 states that either took legal action themselves or joined in the action of others, and were thus exempted from being forced to implement the new law.

Showing Communism the Door in Public Schools

After years of positive indoctrination about communism in K-12 schools and institutions of higher learning, many members of Generation Z have favorable opinions of the ideology. But on December 6, 2024, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 5349, the “Crucial Communism Teaching Act” (CCT), which requires the development and dissemination of “a civic education curriculum and oral history resources regarding certain political ideologies, and for other purposes.”

Florida Congresswoman and former award-winning journalist, Maria Salazar, introduced the CCT, which her fellow House members approved by an impressive vote of 327-62. Rep. Salazar stated in a press release: “By passing my Crucial Communism Teaching Act, the House of Representatives will ensure future generations will remember the pain and suffering caused by the brutal communist ideology.... Over 100 million people have died due to the tragic legacy of communism. However, due to a lack of accurate education materials, almost one-third of Generation-Z members have a favorable view of communism.”

Exposed: Biden’s Reckless Spending on K-12 DEI

At a time when many companies and organizations are walking back their commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), with some even closing their DEI offices and/or cutting back on DEI personnel, the Biden Administration’s has doubled down. Biden’s Department of Education (DOE) funneled more than $1 billion in DEI grants over four years to approximately 300 K-12 school districts in at least 42 states, impacting nearly 6,800,000 students.

The grassroots organization, Parents Defending Education (PDE), exposed in December the data it collected after an investigation and analysis of DOE grant funding, which PDE charges has solidified “far-left ideologies in education.”

Crazy College Courses Cost Parents, Students

Reports have proliferated in conservative circles and online for years about useless, goofy, and worse, destructive college courses that indoctrinate and propagandize students without providing a shred of academic value. As 2025 begins, the situation has only gotten worse, although there is hope that the new Trump Administration will reel in the radical progressive education agenda, as the president has vowed he will do.

While it’s well documented that Critical Race Theory (CRT) is solidly entrenched in higher education, including medical schools, there are courses now offered in colleges and universities that incorporate CRT with other far-left ideological notions that many view as not only divisive but ridiculous.
