Education Secretary Linda McMahon says she is on guard against vestiges of Pride Month that could lead to violations of President Donald Trump’s order banning gender ideology instruction.
“We’re not letting any of these things just slip through the cracks,” McMahon told The Daily Signal on Wednesday.
Title IX was enacted into law on June 23, 1972, so President Donald Trump’s Department of Education is celebrating June as Title IX Month in honor of the federal law protecting women’s spaces and sports.
To mark the 53rd anniversary of Title IX, the Department of Education announced investigations into two apparent violations of the federal law protecting women’s spaces and sports.
McMahon said the case of an 11-year-old girl in Colorado who was forced to share a bed on an overnight school field trip with a transgender-identifying male is the kind of incident the department will be investigating this month.
“That’s just not right for the child,” McMahon told The Daily Signal. “It’s not right for the parents to [not] learn about those things in advance, too.”
When McMahon was a young girl, female-only sports teams didn’t exist, she told a group of reporters at a Wednesday breakfast.
“What we’ve done in our country to establish Title IX is just so important, but we really laid down the ground rules and the work that we needed to do,” McMahon said, “and that is that we want to give women and girls access to equal sports-playing and equal opportunities.”
The Education Department is working with the Justice Department on a Title IX Special Investigation Team to investigate Title IX violations as they surface.
“We’ve taken a very strong effort here at the Department of Education now to investigate and to look at these issues as they come to our attention, because I think it’s just so important,” McMahon said.
