“F--- you Betsy,” reads one comment.
"DeVos is a traitor to women everywhere," another wrote. One chimed in with: "Ms DeVos: for the good of ALL women: PLEASE RESIGN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
As of Friday, there were nearly 72,000 comments on the Education Department’s proposed rule. The proposal is controversial, viewed by critics as DeVos doing Trump's bidding to protect offenders of sexual harassment, pointing to such accusations against the president. The comments are peppered with references to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, whose nomination was nearly tanked by sexual assault allegations.
But I think some of these people go beyond intolerant. They seem like tin foil hat people.

Yeah, found it in the article at the link talking about the comments it spurred. Ooof, I'm not reading through all of that. I'd need someone who understands the existing guidance to compare the important changes in a bit plainer English. My eyes quickly glazed over trying to decipher that doc.

Summary
The Secretary of Education proposes to amend regulations implementing Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX). The proposed regulations would clarify and modify Title IX regulatory requirements pertaining to the availability of remedies for violations, the effect of Constitutional protections, the designation of a coordinator to address sex discrimination issues, the dissemination of a nondiscrimination policy, the adoption of grievance procedures, and the process to claim a religious exemption. The proposed regulations would also specify how recipient schools and institutions covered by Title IX (hereinafter collectively referred to as recipients or schools) must respond to incidents of sexual harassment consistent with Title IX's prohibition against sex discrimination. The proposed regulations are intended to promote the purpose of Title IX by requiring recipients to address sexual harassment, assisting and protecting victims of sexual harassment and ensuring that due process protections are in place for individuals accused of sexual harassment.
