WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump’s Education Department has declared June “Title IX Month” in recognition of the 53rd anniversary of the historic legislation’s passage, The Daily Wire has learned.
The department will spend June highlighting the Trump administration’s actions taken to protect female sports and spaces, as well as reversing the weaponization of Title IX that took place during the previous administration. The festivities offer a stark contrast to the Biden Education Department’s “Pride Month” celebrations, which focused on gender ideology, critical race theory, and DEI.

The Daily Wire can also first report that the Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights is launching probes into two high-profile cases that developed under the previous administration, one in Colorado and the other in Wyoming.
In the first case, the Education Department will investigate the University of Wyoming for allowing a male into the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority chapter and letting him live in female-only campus housing, prompting members of the sorority to sue the school. The lawsuit describes how the male student would allegedly watch, with a visible erection, as female students changed or walked through the sorority house in their towels.
In the second case, Colorado’s Jefferson County Public Schools is under investigation for assigning students to share overnight accommodations “with other students that share a student’s ‘gender identity.’”
The Daily Signal previously reported that the school system assigned a young girl to share a bed with a trans-identifying boy on an overnight school trip — and she likely would have been pressured into sharing his bed had her mother not been present on that trip.
In a press release, the Education Department notes that Jefferson County Public Schools “allegedly misleads parents by informing them that girls and boys will be separated for overnight accommodations without divulging that its definition of ‘girl’ includes boys who claim a female identity.”
Education Secretary Linda McMahon and Trump have been very open about their plan to hand over control of children’s education to both states and parents and ultimately eliminate the Department of Education. Since Trump returned to office, the Education Department has opened investigations into California and Maine for alleged violations of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, which orders states to comply with parental rights laws, boosts school choice programs, and more.
