Sarasota County School Board leaders voted late Tuesday night to reject complying with changes to Title IX, throwing support behind dissenting voices including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Attorney General Ashley Moody. Bridget Ziegler, Sarasota County School Board member and co-founder of Moms for Liberty, was the driving force behind this proposed county-level resolution. School board members were in line with Ziegler, voting 4-1 not to comply with the changes. The reason for the pushback against the newly revised Title IX is due to how the federal regulation now defines sex-based discrimination. After the U.S. Department of Education finalized the changes in April, Title IX now clarifies that discrimination against students over gender identity or sexual orientation also violates the regulation, in addition to what was traditionally defined as sex-based discrimination.
