H.R. 5307 would amend title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 to define “sex” as the biological sex of an individual for purposes of enforcing the prohibition against discrimination on the basis of sex under education programs or activities receiving federal financial assistance.

This bill would essentially allow public schools to discriminate against transgender people.
