Biden administration expands protections for LGBTQ+ students
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.

Quick Glance: San Francisco's Real Estate Market in Turmoil
  • The city of San Francisco, once seen as the shining star of the West Coast, is now on the verge of collapse, with seemingly no one raising the alarm.

  • In particular, the city's housing market has been severely impacted over the past year, with prices plummeting and homeowners fleeing en masse.

  • Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, did not hold back in his comparison of San Francisco's issues to those of New York City, stating that the Bay Area is 'in far worse shape.'

  • San Francisco is failing in all aspects, leading to a quiet collapse of its housing market, where once luxurious properties are now being offered at significant discounts.
