Biography
Title IX of the United States Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits discrimination "on the basis of sex" in educational programs that receive financial assistance from the federal government. The Obama administration determined that this phrase is ambiguous and, in the absence of clarification from Congress, interpreted it to cover discrimination on the basis of both assigned sex and gender identity. The Trump administration said that access to facilities based on gender identity should be left to the states and local school districts to decide.
The validity of the executive's position is being tested in the federal courts.
