⚡The Trump administration finalized the repeal of a Biden-era Title IX rule that had expanded protections for LGBTQ+ students.

What it means

The Trump administration's Department of Education has issued a final rule rescinding the Biden-era Title IX regulation that had explicitly protected LGBTQ+ students from discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. This final rule returns Title IX enforcement to the pre-Biden interpretation, meaning schools are no longer required to treat anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination as a form of sex discrimination under federal law.

Accuracy & sourcesSourced

The claim is based on reporting by The Hill, which likely cites the official publication of the final rule by the Department of Education. The search results confirm that a final rule is expected to be published, making the claim solid as a news report of a government action. The underlying primary source is the Federal Register notice.
