The Protected Category That Could Not Be Defined

Former Acting Assistant Secretary of Education Candice Jackson on Title IX, gender ideology, and the integrity of civil rights law
4

"…it’s just as easily going to encroach on any other categorization that we've ever recognized in law as needed to help particular groups with defined characteristics - people with disabilities, people of certain ages - need different things in law. Race, color and national origin - every single category that we've ever identified and distinguished among people for the purpose of providing accommodation or special legal attention to what they might need, in order to have opportunities equal to people without their characteristics. All of that is in jeopardy if the law throws out references and reference points to objective or measurable qualities in favor of each individual person's self declaration about themselves."

In today’s episode of CURRENT EVENTS IN YEAR ZERO I talk with Candice Jackson, former Acting Assistant Secretary of Education, about Title IX, gender ideology, and the integrity of civil rights law.
