While Republicans claim that this bill is about protecting students, the reality is that this bill does nothing to actually expand protections for students. This bill creates no new rights beyond what is already provided under Title ix. It offers no guarantees of medical leave, flexible coursework, lactation accommodations, child care assistance, housing support, or financial aid protections. In other words, this bill does nothing to address the real barriers pregnant and parenting students. Students face every day. We know those barriers are real serious. (02:41–02:56)
