BREAKING: FL AG leads challenge to Biden admin changes to Title IX
Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody is leading a coalition of attorneys general from Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina, as well as the Independent Women’s Law Center, the Independent Women’s Network, Parents Defending Education and Speech First Inc in challenging the Biden Administration’s recent changes to Title IX.
Attorney General Ashley Moody said,
“Biden’s new Title IX rules shred protections for women—that so many fought for over decades. The idea that young girls can now legally be forced to undress in the same room with males in what is supposed to be a safe space like a locker room, that a young woman could be randomly assigned a roommate that is a biological male with little to no say over the matter, or that biological men would be eligible for women’s scholarships is ludicrous. To ensure safety and fairness, Florida will aggressively fight Biden who refuses to think through the real-world consequences before overhauling regulations.”
Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr posted on X this afternoon: “They’re gutting commonsense Title IX protections & demanding that biological males be allowed to compete against females.”
Nicki Nealy, Executive Director of Parents Defending Education stated:
The role of Cabinet agencies is to interpret laws as written by Congress – not to redefine the meaning of words to suit a fringe group of activists.
The final rule lays bare the Biden Administration’s contempt for families, trumping state laws which reiterate parents’ right to access information and make decisions about issues related to their children’s gender identity in schools.
By lowering the standard of “harassment” to little more than a one-off expression of humor, satire, or parody, the free speech rights of every young learner in America has become subordinate to how the most sensitive student might interpret a phrase.
This Title IX rule is both unconstitutional and immoral, and we look forward to vindicating our members’ rights in court.
