Secretary Cardona’s Remarks on the U.S. Department of Education’s Release of Proposed Amendments to Title IX

Before the Fair Labor Standards Act, many children didn’t spend their days learning in schools, but working in factories.

Before the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Black Americans had no federal statutory protection from the racial discrimination of the Jim Crow era.

And before Title IX, women and girls were denied equal access to education, and the opportunities that come from it.
