❤️ We're seeing a spike in play of our consent games.

👍 We hope they're being played at college orientation for new students. We believe many students would benefit by playing our free games about consent!

🎮 Play one for yourself, we hope you'll agree:

Oh dear! Here’s yet another church-affiliated institution benefiting from federal dollars while demanding a religious right to discriminate against queer and trans students.

This disgusting decision is shocking!
Even more so…that it’s coming out of the #biden administration.

“I know many will not feel safe returning to campus, & rightfully so. If #baylor believes it has a religious liberty right to allow us to be harassed, there truly is no protection for us,” she wrote in REAP’s statement.”

Oh, btw…”Baylor U has been accused in the past of mishandling #sexualassault accusations.”- see 2016 report. #lgbtq #titleix

RT @​TheWNBPA: On this day 51 years ago, Title IX was enacted prohibiting gender-based discrimination in sports programs, granting equal opportunity to both women and men to participate in sports. More work to be done!

#TitleIX

Today in Labor History June 23, 1972: Title IX of the United States Civil Rights Act of 1964 was amended to prohibit sexual discrimination to any educational program receiving federal funds. As a result, there has been a huge increase in girls’ athletic programs in high schools and colleges and, consequently, professional women athletes. It is probably one of the reasons why the U.S. has been able to produce so many top-level women soccer players and dominate women’s soccer for the past 20 years. In 2022, after filing a claim for equal pay, the U.S. women’s national soccer team won equal pay to the men. The World Surf League has been providing equal pay to female and male athletes for four years now. Title IX also prohibits banning transgender athletes from competing in school sports.

#OnThisDay, 23 June 1972, US President Nixon signs into law Title IX, prohibiting sexual discrimination in federally funded education programs/activities.

The image is from 1979, as obviously women still had to fit to get organisations to follow the rules.

Sometimes there is progress:

“It’s men, not women, who are now underrepresented in universities. Women in the United States have earned more bachelor’s degrees than men every year since the mid-1980s. Last fall, #women made up 59.2% of all those enrolled in a college or #university, and men made up only 40.8%. Women are also outperforming their male peers earning higher GPAs in high school and college, even in the male-dominated STEM fields. […] Efforts to help women in college are no longer necessary and are unfair to men. […] These initiatives [are] apparently illegal under Title IX. #TitleIX protects people from discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance. […] For the same reasons that universities can’t offer sports to #men only, they can’t offer awards solely to women.”

My latest for #Volt. How #MentalHealth resources, #TitleIX information, and #tutoring availability may be the important differentiators for #HigherEd #marketing as #GenerationAlpha begins their college search.

"To explain why far right moral crusaders, liberal pundits, and politicians agree on excluding trans girls from sport, but not on the means to realize that end, requires examining how the production of fairness has long relied on targeting certain girls to discipline girlhood as a whole...This is the story of why some girls can’t play."

A #TitleIX campaign built around shaming women, a new way to read #BannedBooks, what kids have to do when #trains block their route to school, and other points of interest in this week's #education news. https://bluebook.life/2023/04/29/week-links-in-education-apr-29/

Cedarville University's idea of addressing sexual harassment apparently involves chiding women for "encouraging" their boyfriends to violate their boundaries. https://julieroys.com/cedarville-university-shaming-signs-womens-bathrooms-spark-controversy/ #TitleIX #Baptist #HigherEd

I spent much of the day today on #titleix training today. I can’t understand how anti-transgender legislation isn’t illegal by Title IX. Word for word, it is harassment. #lgbtqia

What the fuck are they thinking in the White House? Someone please explain to me the twisted logic of this decision. Banning any group of people from full participation in society simply based on who they are as human beings is discriminatory. Period. For fuck's sake, Biden, can't you take a strong stand on anything?

We partnered with Claremont McKenna College to create a brochure that gives a voice to survivors of sexual violence and harassment. The comprehensive guide to the Title IX process explains options in a way that is clear, supportive, and geared to the perspective of the individual student not the institution.

Not sure if this would help but we have a free award-winning video game called 'A Thousand Cuts.' It's about Title IX & the impact of campus culture on its implementation.

The game is a SMS simulator with branching narrative based on texting decisions. The game is played in a browser & you can access it via the companion website. The website also includes Title IX background & links to add'l resources.

[CW: the game contains abuse]
