A new report at the Institute for Family Studies warns Joe Biden’s promise to expand Title IX campus sex assault protections will attempt to empower his radical administration’s bureaucrats to “shape the sexual norms of future generations.”
Manhattan Institute Fellow Kay S. Hymowitz observed that, in 2011, the Obama administration launched its “Dear Colleague” letter to college and university deans to express its horror at what it claimed were “statistics on sexual violence” that “are both deeply troubling and a call to action for the nation.”
“A report prepared for the National Institute of Justice found that about 1 in 5 women are victims of completed or attempted sexual assault while in college,” the letter stated.

On the campaign trail, Joe Biden promised to select a teacher to be his secretary of education. Just before Christmas, in a surprise choice, he named Connecticut Commissioner of Education Miguel Cardona to the post. Cardona has been a teacher albeit for only about five years before becoming a principal and district administrator.
Biden has now doubled down on his pro-teacher stance by nominating San Diego Unified Superintendent Cindy Marten to be deputy secretary of education, the number two position in the U.S. Department of Education.
With Cardona, Marten will play a pivotal role in advocating for and implementing President-elect Biden’s expansive education agenda, including getting funds to states, so they can open the majority of their elementary schools within 100 days of his taking office.
