The Title IX proposal, revealed last Thursday, includes rules on anti-transgender bias in schools, reversing Trump-era guidance. Governing for Impact (GFI), a secretive liberal nonprofit whose board includes a high-level Soros director drafted a legal memo for the Education Department that is comparable in structure and reasoning.
"The Trump administration has weakened protections for transgender individuals under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX) by rescinding previous policy statements, changing its enforcement policy, filing Statements of Interest in litigation, and threatening fund termination for schools that support transgender students," GFI's memo for the Education Department reads.

A backbone of the Biden administration's proposal contains expanding language to bring in gender identity and sexual orientation, which GFI advocated for within the memo.
GFI's legal policy memo recommended: "implementing regulations to include sexual orientation, gender identity, and transgender status; and that Title IX and its implementing regulations require schools to treat students consistent with their gender identity for purposes of Title IX and not to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity."

Rachel Klarman, GFI's executive director, explained to Fox News Digital that they're proud of their "ongoing efforts to help ensure that the federal government works more effectively for the everyday working Americans, not just for members of industry groups that have long devoted vast resources to pursuing their own policy agendas."

"We're glad the administration is revising its Title IX guidance," Klarman announced. "During the transition, Governing for Impact made a number of recommendations for how this policy could be improved, which are available on our public website."

An Education Department spokesperson did not directly address questions on GFI's involvement and said to Fox News Digital that the "proposed rule was developed through a transparent and public process including stakeholder engagements and a public hearing and comment process, including hundreds of comments and feedback regarding protections to end discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity."

GFI, which has maintained a shadowy presence, has calmly worked with the Biden administration behind the scenes and boasted in internal memos of implementing over 20 of its regulatory agenda items as it efforts to reverse Trump-era deregulations by zeroing in on education, health care, housing, labor and environmental matters, Fox News Digital previously reported.
GFI's website does not seem on internet search engines yet is discoverable to those who know the URL. It includes dozens of legal strategy memos for shaping executive orders and regulations.
