“Failure to heed these guidelines will devastate the legal ability of girls and women to exercise critical rights under Title IX and erase the progress toward sex equality in education that Title IX has achieved.”

The petition requests the Department of Education affirm Title IX rights to single-sex spaces, women’s and girls’ sports, and free speech on campus. #SaveTitleIX #SaveWomensSports
