Eleventh Circuit and Supreme Court Halt Biden's Title IX Rewrite with Preliminary Injunction

Aug 23, 2024, 12:28 PM

The Eleventh Circuit Court has issued an injunction pending appeal, halting the Biden administration's Title IX rewrite that aimed to include gender identity in the definition of sex. This decision affects Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina, along with 18 school districts. The injunction was granted after a 2-1 ruling, with Judges Branch and Luck, both appointed by Trump, supporting the decision, while Judge Charles Wilson, appointed by Clinton, dissented. The Supreme Court unanimously agreed that the states and school districts are entitled to a preliminary injunction. The ruling has been described as a victory for Florida and its partners, who opposed the changes on the grounds of protecting children from radical gender ideology in education.
