Just a week after the U.S. Department of Education concluded that the protections of Title IX extend to LGBT students, the Biden administration has sent a letter to schools across the nation informing them of the policy change and providing examples of actions that now constitute as discrimination.
The “Dear Educator” letter was published Wednesday, the 49th anniversary of the implementation of Title IX, which was created to provide equal opportunities for women and girls in education. Written by Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights at the Department of Education, Suzanne Goldberg, the letter informs educators about the recently issued public notice by the Department of Education, announcing that “Title IX’s protection against sex discrimination encompasses discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.”

Joe Biden, Culture Warrior
USA Today’s Michael Collins insisted, “but President Joe Biden seldom answers.” In the
Washington Post, Paul Waldman argued that because he has broken the link “between culture and policy,” Biden is “kryptonite to the Republican culture war.” Most of Biden’s policies must be viewed as part of a concerted “strategy to reduce the corrosive impact of hot-button social, cultural, and racial issues,” according to
New York Times columnist Thomas B. Edsall. And while “Republicans are busy trying to bait Democrats on culture war issues,” the Week’s Damon Linker contended, the party in power is “refusing to play along” and getting high marks from voters as a result.

Fifty-eight years ago, Democrat George Wallace stood to present an inaugural address as the incoming governor of Alabama. He delivered one of the most contemptible pieces of rhetoric in American history. Railing against the rising tide of integration and the civil rights movement, Wallace thundered, “Segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever.”
Seven months later, Martin Luther King Jr. stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to offer a vision entirely opposite. Drawing from the soaring vision of the Hebrew prophets, he dreamed of a time when “little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as brothers and sisters,” when justice would “roll down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream.”
