Progress

Where this resolution reached, and when. A stage with no date was not reached; one that failed a vote and later carried shows the date it carried. A simple resolution is the business of one chamber alone: it is not sent to the other chamber or to the President, and does not become law.

Summary

This resolution supports parents having a say in their child's education.

Further, the resolution opposes (1) allowing biological boys and men to compete in biological girls and women's sports, (2) the weakening of the protections of title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, and (3) labeling parents as extreme and hateful for wanting to keep inappropriate material out of their child's classroom.

Under title IX, if a school operates or sponsors an athletic program it must provide equal athletic opportunities regardless of sex.
