Quick Glance: Biden Administration Expands Title IX Protection for LGBTQ Students, Assault Victims

The Biden administration released rules that protect the rights of LGBTQ students and change how schools can respond to allegations of sexual assault and misconduct.

The Education Department updated Title IX, the 1972 law prohibiting sex discrimination in school programs, with the changes set to take effect on August 1.

The new rules eliminate in-person court-like proceedings for sexual assault allegations, broaden the definition of sexual harassment, and officially expand Title IX interpretation to cover pregnant, gay, and transgender students.

These changes have sparked mixed reviews and controversy, with supporters praising the increased safety for students while critics argue that the new regulations infringe on due process rights and expressive freedoms.

Second paramedic involved in Elijah McClain’s death sentenced to probation, work release and community service

cnn.com/2024/04/26/us/paramedic-elijah-mcclain-sentenced-probation/

Quick Glance: Former Aurora Paramedic Sentenced to 14 Months Work Release

The former Aurora paramedic involved in injecting Elijah McClain with ketamine, resulting in his death, has been sentenced to 14 months of work release and four years of probation and community service.

The injection occurred after McClain had a violent struggle with the police and was already subdued and in handcuffs. He lost consciousness and his pulse after the injection.

Judge Mark Warner emphasized the importance of McClain's life and criticized Cooper for not intervening despite McClain's critical condition. The sentencing concludes a lengthy process involving five first responders charged in McClain's death.

Cooper was convicted of criminally negligent homicide, while his supervisor, Peter Cichuniec, was convicted of similar charges. The sentencing brings closure to a tragic incident that sparked social justice protests.

Quick Glance: Experts Caution Against Risks of Marijuana Consumption

The 420 day, also known as 'Weed Day,' is celebrated, but experts warn about the health implications of marijuana consumption.

While 24 US states have legalized marijuana for recreational use, research raises concerns about the potential harm cannabis can do to the body.

Studies suggest that marijuana smoke poses health risks, including an increased risk of stroke and heart attack, as well as links to heart issues.

Despite some medicinal benefits of marijuana, such as reducing seizures in epilepsy, there are warnings about the risks of excessive consumption, especially among adolescents and pregnant women.

Federal appeals court blocks West Virginia transgender sports ban: The ruling also found that the ban also violates Title IX.

Quick Glance: Court Overturns West Virginia Ban on Transgender in Sports

A federal appeals court has overturned a ban on transgender individuals participating in sports in West Virginia, citing a violation of Title IX.

The court ruled that the law cannot lawfully be applied to a 13-year-old girl who has identified as female since the third grade.

The decision favored the American Civil Liberties Union, its West Virginia chapter, and the LGBTQ advocacy group Lambda Legal, who filed a lawsuit in 2021.

West Virginia is just one of 24 states with legislation preventing transgender women and girls from competing in specific women's or girls' sports events.
