From our partners at Engage Jeffco:

At a time when public education and the rights of LGBTQ+ people are increasingly being drawn into national political conflicts, Jeffco Public Schools has demonstrated principled leadership. The U.S. Department of Education’s threatened enforcement action—and the potential loss of as much as $90 million in federal funding—places the district, its educators, and its students in an extraordinarily difficult position. We support the district’s decision to defend its inclusive policies, reject unsupported allegations concerning its compliance with Title IX, uphold Colorado’s strong protections against discrimination, and file a lawsuit seeking court guidance.
