The United States Government, under the Donald Trump administration, has officially revoked the regulations implemented during Joe Biden’s term, which sought to expand protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in the country’s educational institutions.<\/p>\n\n
Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, formally announced the removal of the 2024 regulation from the federal register. With this decision, the Department of Education returns to the guidelines established during Trump’s first term, which have been in effect since the beginning of 2025.<\/p>\n\n
The central axis of this controversy revolves around Title IX, a federal law enacted in 1972 that prohibits sex-based discrimination in educational institutions that receive federal funding. The Biden administration had explicitly interpreted this law to include protection against gender identity and sexual orientation, extending these rights to both students and employees in the education sector.<\/p>\n\n
The 2024 regulation, now repealed, integrated behaviors related to gender identity into the definitions of sexual harassment, in addition to addressing issues such as domestic violence, harassment, and sexual assault in the school environment.<\/p>\n\n
The current administration has chosen to reinstate the 2020 rules, which offer a more restrictive definition of sexual harassment and strengthen due process guarantees for students accused in cases of this nature.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
Scope of the measure<\/h2>\n\n
According to reports obtained by Alofoke Deportes, the practical impact of this revocation is limited in the current context. This is because the Trump administration had already suspended the application of Biden’s rules since January 2025, after facing various blocks and annulments in judicial instances.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
