Team Miyares: Miyares Weekly Roundup

"My job as attorney general is to make sure all of our students, no matter what their background, are able to go into an academic setting and study [without] looking over their shoulder in fear. That's a job I take quite seriously, and we will continue to do so."  –Attorney General Miyares AG Miyares visited Danville this week to highlight Operation Ceasefire's impacts on crime in Martinsville, Lynchburg, Roanoke, and Danville.

AG MIYARES SUING THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION OVER TITLE IX REWRITE

For half a century, Title IX of the Educational Amendments Act has barred discrimination on the basis of sex by federally funded schools while also protecting the privacy and dignity of women and girls by allowing for bathrooms, locker rooms, and other common spaces that are ubiquitous nationwide.  If the Biden Administration's unauthorized rewrite of Title IX is allowed to stand, Virginia schools will have to choice but to allow males self-identifying as female – in every grade from preschool through college – to use girls' and women's bathrooms and locker rooms, play on girls' and women's sports teams, and access other female-only activities and spaces or risk losing billions in federal funding.  The sweeping Title IX mandate would upend schools' long-lawful practices protecting student privacy, unfairly undermine women's academic and athletic achievements and related advancement in society, and punish States for following their laws.
