WASHINGTON / May 16, 2024 – Members of the Title IX Network are releasing a letter [1] today calling for Speaker Mike Johnson to establish a House task force to end the weaponization of the Department of Education.  

On May 9, representatives from several organizations of the Title IX Network [2] held meetings with Congressional staffers of 18 Members of the House of Representatives. The purpose of the meetings was to recommend the establishment of a Task Force of key House Members to confer on strategies to end the weaponization of the Department of Education.  The American people are taking a stand concerning the Administration’s new Title IX regulation as evidenced by the growing number of state lawsuits. [3], [4], [5], [6]. Specifically,

• Eight lawsuits from 22 states have been filed in federal courts to block the regulation. [7]
• On Tuesday the eight lawsuit was filed by the Attorneys Generals from Kansas, Wyoming, Utah and Alaska [8] 
• Impressively, one of the lawsuits features 17 school districts in Louisiana as plaintiffs. [9]
• Numerous states already have declared they will not follow the new policy, including AR, FL, LA, NE, OK, and SC. [10]

The Heritage Foundation's proposal for the Department of Education in its Mandate for Leadership 2025 has a chapter (Chapter 11) on how to reform the Department of Education: [11]  

The Heritage Foundation proposal would:

• Make Block grants for selected functions to the state
• Transfer selected functions to the Department of the Treasury, Department of Justice, etc.
• Discontinue the other functions 

In response to the Biden administration’s Title IX regulation, SAVE has set up a Candidate Pledge to Protect Schools, Children, and Families from the Federal Title IX Plan. We encourage you to sign the Candidate Pledge. [12] If interested, contact Bob Thompson at [email protected].

Americans will not allow the Department of Education to continue to weaponize its Congressional mandate for partisan or ideological purposes
