Occurrences

President Trump restored common sense in Title IX, and now Congress must codify these protections for women into law to prevent future abuse. The Title IX Clarification Act would ensure that common sense, not leftist ideology, governs federal education funding tied to Title IX requirements to protect young women.

Blackburn committed to codifying Title IX protections through the Title IX Clarification Act so federal education funding requirements use biological sex standards.

Blackburn fulfilled the promise because the committed action was to introduce and support legislation, not necessarily secure enactment. During her current Senate term, she led introduction of the Title IX Clarification Act of 2026, and the bill text matches the promised policy by defining Title IX sex protections for federally funded education programs in biological terms rather than sexual orientation or gender identity.
