Trump’s Department of Education Replaces ‘Pride Month’ with ‘Title IX Month’
President Donald Trump’s Department of Education on Monday announced that it is, for the second time, recognizing June as “Title IX Month” rather than “Pride Month.”
The Department of Education said recognizing June as “Title IX Month” honors the 54th anniversary of the Educational Amendments of 1972 (Title IX), which was signed into law on June 23, 1972, and “commemorates women’s struggle for, and achievement of, equal educational opportunity and, throughout the month.”
The department added that it plans to highlight the Trump administration’s progress in restoring Title IX’s sex-based protections after the Biden administration took a wrecking ball to women’s rights for four years. Title IX bans sex discrimination as a condition of receiving federal funding.

“Throughout the month of June, we’re spotlighting the critical civil rights protections that women fought for decades to secure and the Trump Administration’s vigorous commitment to protecting Title IX’s promise for current and future generations of women and girls,” Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Kimberly Richey said in a statement.
The Department of Education said in its announcement that its Office for Civil Rights (OCR) opened another Title IX investigation into Cabarrus County Schools in North Carolina over allegations the district allows males in female-only intimate spaces.
