This means that anyone who speaks in any way against the male transgender incursion into women's spaces can and will be charged under federal statutes for sexual harassment and civil rights violations in a school-based setting, if it accepts federal funding. This includes all public schools, charter schools, and 99.65% of colleges and universities. Because these schools accept federal money, they must follow Title IX regulations or risk losing that money. Under these conditions, no school will stand up for the rights of students, teachers, or parents.
Here are some examples that would violate the new (but NOT improved Title IX regulations):
--A teacher refuses to use a student's preferred pronouns (or to use pronouns at all). This use of "misgendering" or lack of acknowledging the student's preference would violate this new version of Title IX. The student could then file sexual harassment charges against this teacher. The school's Title IX officer (schools all have a person who handles these issues) would then be able to arbitrarily decide what happens to this teacher. The teacher has no recourse. Even if the student decides not to file charges, the Title IX officer can still choose to penalize the teacher.
--A parent is attending a school event with their 6-year old child and goes into the female restroom with them only to find a male teacher in the bathroom. If the parent complains to the administration, the teacher could file sexual harassment and civil rights violation charges against that parent, which would be a federal violation with the full weight of all the penalties that would incur.
--No due process for students. Under these new Title IX rules, students will not be able to defend themselves against charges of sexual harassment. They are considered guilty until proven innocent. Their accuser does not have to face them, and they cannot submit evidence in their own defense to counter the charges. The Title IX officer of the institution will be the final arbiter of "justice" in these college kangaroo courts. If you have sons or daughters in college, and they are accused of sexual harassment, they will have no ability to fight false accusations. The officer can indiscriminately suspend or expel a student if they deem there is cause.
--Recently, five female middle school students defaulted on purpose during a shot-put competition where they were forced to compete against a male student. After August 1st, when this Title IX change goes into effect, if these girls did this again, they could be charged with sexual harassment for their actions, not even having said a word. Again, this would remain on their school record for the rest of their lives, and they could face suspension or expulsion from school.
