A Biden administration proposal to expand the definition of sex discrimination in education “jeopardizes free speech throughout America’s schools, and it is constitutionally flawed when applied in any educational setting to daily conversations,” according to the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF).

The Arizona-based public interest law firm, which specializes in First Amendment freedom of speech and religious expression and practice, made the comment in a comprehensive critique of the Department of Education’s proposed revision to Title IX, part of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 enacted to protect women’s equal access to opportunities in learning and athletics in public schools.
