Protect against Title IX and submit a comment by September 12, 2022.

The US Department of Education released their proposed changes to Title IX regulations that would dramatically change the future for women and girls in federally funded activities and programs. There are many negative impacts that will harm girls, women, and families.

A government portal has been set up for you to make a comment submission.  It is very straight-forward and easy to do.  In addition, this governmental body is required to read every submission, large and small – before they can finalize the new “Rule.”  So rest assured, your input will be read and considered.

TAKE A STAND TODAY

Here’s the question we asked UFI readers: 

“Recognizing that all are important, what trait or quality do you think is the most important to teach children?”

Here’s how readers responded:

0 Percent                  Determination

36 Percent               Responsibility

11 Percent               Self-confidence/Self-Worth

32 Percent               Gratitude

21 Percent               Self-Control

 This was a tough one!  You can see that there was not an overwhelming winner with the results for “responsibility” and “gratitude” being very close.  Our readers don’t seem to follow the mantra of the secular world which seems to state that the most important thing you can teach children is to be self-confident.

Our staff at UFI had a long conversation about this question and couldn’t decide between responsibility and gratitude.  Can you be responsible and still be ungrateful?   If you are truly grateful, is it possible to not feel responsible to all around you?   All of the qualities mentioned are important ones and hopefully this gave you an opportunity to examine your own values and parenting focus.
