The U.S. Department of Education marked the 49th anniversary of the Title IX Education Amendments of 1972 by issuing a Dear Educator letter. The letter highlights the importance of Title IX and references several Title IX resources made available during the Biden-Harris Administration, including for LGBTQI+ students.
In announcing the letter, Secretary Miguel Cardona described Title IX as “the strongest tool we have to protect every student’s right to equal access to educational opportunities free from sex discrimination.” Secretary Cardona also noted, “Amid this progress, we recognize there is still more to do, when we know that students still experience harassment, exclusion from school activities, and other forms of discrimination that stand in the way of them reaching their full potential and their dreams.
