Rep. Adams Slams Republican Efforts to Derail Title IX
Congresswoman praises constructive White House changes
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congresswoman Alma S. Adams, Ph.D. (D-NC-12), released the following statement after Republicans forced changes to Title IX through the House Committee on Education and Workforce:
“There is no respectable basis to undermine this groundbreaking new Title IX rule by the White House, which strengthens protections for students against sexual harassment and discrimination, supports pregnant and parenting students, and explicitly prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. I don’t need to be a forty-year educator to know that every student deserves a quality education, free of harassment and discrimination.”
