AFPI: Schools That Fail to Protect Students Must Be Held Accountable

Washington, DC – The America First Policy Institute (AFPI) issued the following statement from Chairman of AFPI’s America First California chapter Mike Garcia in response to news that the U.S. Department of Education has launched a Title IX investigation into Los Angeles Unified School District:

“This investigation is exactly what accountability looks like. Title IX is not optional. The law requires that schools protect students from sexual harassment, abuse, and exploitation, not hide behind bureaucratic games to protect potential predators. Policies that shield adults accused of sexual misconduct are abhorrent and a complete betrayal of parental trust.

By opening this investigation, the Trump administration is sending a clear message: Schools should be a safe haven for students, and there will be zero tolerance for institutions that endanger children or fail to protect them.”
