Louisiana’s Department of Education superintendent has flagged a potential issue with the new Title IX rules unveiled by the Biden administration, specifically that they could run afoul of existing state laws.
Title IX is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination, including sexual harassment and sexual violence, in any educational programs or activities that receive federal funding. Under the changes unveiled on April 19 by the Biden administration, the new rule defines sexual harassment as including harassment based on sex stereotypes, sex characteristics, pregnancy, sexual orientation, and gender identity.
