Congress passed Title IX in 1972 to ensure that men and women had equal rights “on the basis of sex” in schools. For decades, it was clear that Congress intended the law’s protections to extend to males and females only, especially by providing for sex-separate spaces and activities like bathrooms and sports.

But when Obama was President, his administration began issuing informal “Dear Colleague” letters telling schools that they had to extend Title IX’s protections to transgender students—meaning students could use whatever bathroom and participate on whatever athletic team aligned with their “gender identity.” The Biden administration doubled down on this by formally trying to change the definition of “sex” under Title IX to include “gender identity.”

Schools like Delaware Valley School District are caught in the crosshairs of these unconstitutional laws. That is why, in light of federal court orders affirming that only Congress can change Title IX, SLF is urging the Trump administration to intervene and rescind bad, outdated, and unconstitutional agreements like the one between the Delaware Valley School District and the then-Obama Department of Education.
