In Oshkosh, Wisconsin, the local school board faced controversy over its decision not to adopt new Title IX regulations mandated by the Biden administration. These updated rules, effective this month, expand protections to include discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity and prohibit blanket policies that ban students from using bathrooms based on their gender identity. The Oshkosh Area Board of Education voted 3-3 against implementing these changes. The community reacted strongly, with some, like Kora Novy from Oshkosh Pride, urging the board to seriously consider the new regulations and warning about potential federal funding losses. Others, like Laura Ackman from Moms for Liberty, called for a more thorough discussion of the significant changes these regulations bring.
