Missouri AG's Motion to Block Biden's Title IX Rewrite Granted in Six States

Jul 26, 2024, 03:46 PM

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey's motion to block President Joe Biden's rewrite of Title IX has been granted. The rewrite would have allowed biological males into female spaces. The Education Department is enjoined from enforcing this rule, which several states argued improperly forces them to ignore a student's biological sex in favor of 'self-professed gender identity.' U.S. District Judge Rodney Sippel granted a preliminary injunction preventing the Title IX rule from taking effect in Missouri, Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota, pending the outcome of the lawsuit. Bailey, who led the lawsuit, called the decision a 'huge win for women and girls across the country.' He also stated that Biden's plan was 'blatantly illegal' and 'a slap in the face to every woman in America.'
