New York’s education officials are waging war on parents — we must fight back

When state Education Commissioner Betty Rosa last month struck down Massapequa’s school-board resolution enforcing Title IX in our schools, it wasn’t just an example of Albany’s bureaucratic overreach.

It was a direct hit on girls — and a warning shot to families across New York state.

Last fall, the Massapequa Board of Education passed a resolution clarifying that our policies bar biological males from using female spaces in local schools, in keeping with President Donald Trump’s executive order on Title IX.

In our Long Island school district, it wasn’t a controversial question; polling consistently shows that most Americans, across party lines, believe boys don’t belong in girls’ sports, locker rooms or bathrooms.

But the New York Civil Liberties Union filed suit with the commissioner, and her April ruling aims to force the district to violate federal law and override the will of the community.

That should concern every parent.
