Sarasota school board votes to reject expansion of Title IX
SARASOTA, Fla. - In another showdown between Florida and the White House, the Sarasota County School Board voted Tuesday night to pass a resolution against new Title IX revisions that would protect LGBTQ+ students.
The 4-1 vote came after hours of heated debate and was led by school board member Bridget Ziegler, the controversial co-founder of Moms for Liberty, who called on the district to back Governor Ron DeSantis’ declaration that Florida schools "will not comply" with the federal revisions to Title IX
Ziegler also spoke Tuesday night, saying the federal Title IX changes by the Biden Administration go against state laws -- and reiterated that Florida still has strong laws against bullying in place.
