How Title IX Became a Tool of America’s Conservative Movement
Conservative activists are using Title IX, a US civil rights law, to challenge school policies supporting transgender students, arguing they undermine protections for women. The movement has gained traction in Washington, with recent complaints filed against top universities.
For over 50 years, Title IX has protected students from sex discrimination in US education. Conservative activist Nicole Neily is using the law to challenge policies supporting transgender students, claiming they erode protections for women. Neily's group has filed numerous complaints, recently targeting Princeton and Yale universities. Backed by donors like billionaire John Paulson, their efforts are gaining traction in Washington. The complaints argue that policies supporting transgender students contradict Title IX protections. This development marks a new front in the conservative movement's efforts to shape education policy.
