Title IX: Court Puts Biden Administration’s Title IX Overhaul on Hold

In the name of fighting discrimination against trans-identified students, the Biden administration has issued guidelines and proposed sweeping new Title IX rules that, ironically, discriminate against women. The Biden policies place schools and state officials between a rock and a hard place, caught between protecting the rights of women and girls under Title IX and state law and complying with administrative edicts that require them to allow males into female-only spaces.

Seeking clarity, multiple Republican attorneys general filed suit in federal court in Tennessee. Last Friday, Judge Charles Atchley indicated skepticism about the administration’s approach, temporarily enjoining the Education Department’s Title IX guidelines.
