News Federal judge blocks Biden's Title IX transgender protections
Quote:Judge Reed O’Connor ruled the government Biden's Administration "failed to follow the proper procedures" to enact changes to Title [IX].
Quote:Paxton noted his office in 2023 sued the Department of Education for issuing "arbitrary and capricious guidance that unlawfully extended Title IX to include 'sexual orientation' and 'gender identity' as protected classes. This would have forced Texas schools and universities to allow biological males to use women’s restrooms, locker rooms, and other sex-specific spaces. Any Texas school refusing to follow the mandate risked losing federal education funding. Today, a federal court vacated the unlawful guidance nationwide and issued a permanent injunction against its enforcement against Texas and its schools. This ruling ensures that no school district in the State of Texas will have to comply with the Biden Administration's interpretation of Title IX as including gender-identity requirements, including allowing men into women's restrooms or locker rooms or sports teams, or requiring students or teachers to use pronouns based on gender identity rather than biological sex.
