The Biden administration’s expanded interpretation of Title IX, which extended protections against sex-based discrimination to students on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, has been formally reversed by the Education Department. The move marks a significant shift in federal policy, removing safeguards that had been in place for LGBTQ students under the previous administration. Critics argue the change could leave vulnerable groups exposed to discrimination in schools, while supporters say it aligns with a narrower reading of the law’s original intent. The reversal comes amid ongoing debates over how far civil rights protections should extend under landmark education policies.
