Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : The Arizona-based public interest law firm that specializes in First Amendment freedom of speech and religious expression and practice, made the comment in a comprehensive critique of the Department of Education's proposed revision to Title IX, part of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 enacted to protect women's equal access to opportunities in learning and athletics in public schools.
50% : "The United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit recently held that such compulsion, as applied to a university professor, violates the First Amendment.
44% :"Despite that assurance, governments now treat the refusal to express messages in support of same-sex marriage as an act of discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, and at least one school has issued several no-contact orders under Title IX because of students' religious expression in support of traditional marriage," ADF continued.
38% : But President Joe Biden's Secretary of Education, Michael Cardona, proposes to revise Title IX to cover discrimination to include "discrimination on the basis of sex stereotypes, sex characteristics, pregnancy or related conditions, sexual orientation, and gender identity."
