On 50th Anniversary of Title IX, Biden Seeks to Undo Protections for Women

It's been 50 years since the U.S. government acted to ensure equal educational opportunities for girls and women through Title IX. 


Since put in place as education amendments in 1972, Title IX has prohibited sex-based discrimination in education programs, including competitive sports. 


Title IX states: “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.” 


But the Biden administration is working to undo these very protections by redefining “sex” to include gender identity. If the far left succeeds in changing the definition of sex, Title IX would lose its power to protect women because men who identify as women would have greater access to compete on female sports teams and use women’s bathrooms and locker rooms. 


On today’s edition of "Problematic Women," Heritage Foundation senior legal fellow Sarah Parshall Perry explains the fight to protect Title IX from this radical agenda. 


Also on today’s show, we still await some big rulings from the Supreme Court, but this week it released one significant decision on school choice. We tell you what you need to know.


Plus, Disney ruins another movie with its radical agenda. And as always, we’ll crown our Problematic Woman of the Week.


Enjoy the show!

  • Jennifer Sey, New Athletic Brand to Protects Women's Sports, and Title IX Chaos

    44:44
    Athletic clothing brands hold Women’s History Month promotional campaigns every March and claim to support women's and girls sports, but haven’t spoken out against men competing as women—until now.“None of them is weighing in and taking a stand to protect female athletes and female sports and spaces from males entering into those spaces,” says Jennifer Sey, the founder of XX-XY Athletics. As a former elite gymnast and the 1986 USA Gymnastics national champion, Sey knows the value athletics can play in the lives of women—and the danger posed by men being allowed to enter female competitions. “You know, girls that participate in sports are more likely to graduate from high school. They get better grades. They're less likely to become pregnant in high school,” Sey explains on the “Problematic Women” podcast. Sey joins the “Problematic Woman” podcast to share her own journey and struggles as an elite gymnast, the launch of XX-XY Athletics, and her 2022 book “Levi's Unbuttoned: The Woke Mob Took My Job but Gave Me My Voice.”Enjoy the conversation!
