The US Education Department has nullified six Title IX agreements made during the Obama and Biden administrations. These agreements required school districts to implement policies such as gender discrimination trainings and instructions on preferred names and pronoun usage for transgender students. The affected districts are in Delaware, Pennsylvania, Washington, and California. The Education Department claims that Title IX is based on sex, and previous administrations' enforcement was 'illegal and burdensome.' Experts say this move is rare and may cause confusion. The schools affected have stated that the canceled agreements will not impact their operations.
