‘Daddy’s Home’: Republican Paternalism Towards Women Exemplifies Punishment, Not Protection

Citing the protection of women as the impetus for the change, Craig Trainor, acting assistant secretary for the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, announced the related return to Trump’s 2020 Title IX rules crafted under former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos. In addition to rescinding protections for transgender students, a return to the 2020 Title IX rules rolls back protections for survivors of sexual harassment and assault and puts in place procedures that are hostile to them, according to Shiwali Patel, senior director of safe and inclusive schools for the National Women’s Law Center.
