Pushing back against the labeling of attempts by parents to ensure school curriculum and sports are age and sex appropriate as extreme.

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.

                               RESOLUTION


 
  Pushing back against the labeling of attempts by parents to ensure 
  school curriculum and sports are age and sex appropriate as extreme.

Whereas all students should feel welcome in their classroom, but radical far-
        left ideas inappropriate for minors should not;
Whereas it is not extreme or hateful to believe children as young as 6 should 
        not be subject to discussion about sexual orientation or gender ideology 
        in the classroom;
Whereas it is not extreme or hateful to believe biological men should not 
        compete against biological women in sports;
Whereas, while issues dealing with the history of slavery and racism should be 
        taught in the classroom, courses centered around the false belief that 
        America is systemically, structurally, or institutionally racist should 
        not;
Whereas it is not extreme or hateful to believe that parents, not the 
        government, should have the final say in their children's education; and
Whereas attempts to express these views in a violent manner are inexcusable: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports parents having a say in their child's 
        education; and
            (2) opposes--
                    (A) allowing biological boys and men to compete in 
                biological girls and women's sports;
                    (B) the weakening of title IX protections; and
                    (C) labeling parents as extreme and hateful for 
                wanting to keep inappropriate material out of their 
                child's classroom.
                                 <all>
