26 States Have Blocked Title IX, Nearly 700 Schools Won’t Comply

Background

By Tate Miller | The Center Square contributor

(Worthy News) – In addition to the 26 states protecting blocking the Title IX revisions put in place under the Biden-Harris administration, hundreds of colleges across 48 states will do the same.

Biden’s new gender-affirming Title IX rules that redefine sexual discrimination to include sexual orientation are blocked by injunction in 26 states, while nearly 700 schools will not be required to enforce the revisions if students are members of Young America’s Foundation or Female Athletes United, two of the suing groups. The Title IX revisions became effective Aug. 1 and allow males who identify as female in female spaces such as bathrooms and locker rooms.

Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Alaska, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wyoming, Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota make up the 26 states suing over Biden’s Title IX rules, The Center Square previously reported.

A Kansas judge issued the injunction that stopped Title IX revisions from going into effect at any American school with a student belonging to either Young America’s Foundation or Female Athletes United, Inside Higher Ed reported; 48 states are affected. The Supreme Court upheld this decision.

“YAF’s preliminary injunction stops the Department of Education from penalizing and endangering students with novel, illogical rules that would endanger both free speech and personal safety,” Young America’s Foundation Chief Communications Officer Spencer Brown said in an email to The Center Square. “Now, students can speak the truth knowing the law is on their side – and that YAF will continue to fight until we get a final decision that permanently eliminates the Biden-Harris administration’s destructive rules.”

“Bold YAF activists are on the front lines of the battle for truth on campus, some of the most notable battles of the day being transgenderism and women’s safety. This lawsuit is a way for YAF to defend every student’s right to say what they believe – and more students are joining YAF every day as a result,” Brown said.

According to a document from the Kansas case, over 670 colleges and universities have a Young America’s Foundation or Female Athletes United chapter on campus.

Inside Higher Ed reported that a number of the schools are in states “that aren’t currently suing the Biden administration over the regulations.”

The ruling on Title IX also affects primary and secondary education across the nation because of a third suing group, Moms for Liberty, according to Inside Higher Ed.

Moms for Liberty is an organization “dedicated to fighting for the survival of America by unifying, educating and empowering parents to defend their parental rights at all levels of government,” as stated in its website.
