Office of Public Instruction
“The new federal Department of Education Title IX rules take a sledgehammer to our nation’s freedom of speech, parental rights, and due process rights with a radically woke redefinition of sex. This is another top-down Biden mandate that disregards states’ rights. I will continue to fight for Montana’s women, girls, and values.” – Superintendent Elsie Arntzen
