Superintendent Arntzen Sends Letter on Biden’s Dangerous Title IX Changes to Montana Education Leaders
“The new federal Department of Education Title IX rules take a sledgehammer to our nation’s freedom of speech, parental rights, and due process rights with a radically woke redefinition of sex. This is another top-down Biden mandate that disregards states’ rights. I will continue to fight for Montana’s women, girls, and values.” – Superintendent Elsie Arntzen
Background:
- On September 12, 2022, Superintendent Arntzen submitted public comment opposing the Biden Administration’s proposed federal Title IX rules changes.
- On April 19, 2024, the Biden administration finalized the 1,500-page federal Title IX rule changes.
- On April 25, 2024, Superintendent Arntzen sent a letter to school districts informing them that the federal Title IX rule changes contradict state law and harm free speech, due process, and parental rights.
