President Joe Biden’s rewrite of Title IX arrived in April, replacing “sex” with “gender identity.” The Independent Women’s Forum immediately filed a lawsuit, and the governors of Mississippi and Arkansas issued executive orders defying the change.

We’re just getting word that a federal court has halted operation of the Title IX rule:

Just today, a federal court halted operation of the Title IX Rule, finding the plaintiffs likely to prevail on their claims that:

1) the Rule is a contrary to law 

2) the Department of Education lacked congressional authority to make the Rule 

3) the Rule violates the Constitution’s spending clause

4) the Rule violates the First Amendment because it is impermissibly vague and overbroad, and

5) the Rule violates the Administrative Procedure Act because it is “arbitrary and capricious.”  

The injunction prevents the rule’s implementation in: Kansas, Alaska, Utah, Wyoming, K.R.’s school, the schools attended by the members of Young America’s Foundation or Female Athletes United, as well as the schools attended by the children of the members of Moms for Liberty. 

If you’re keeping score at home, this is the 5th federal court to tell the Biden Administration to go pound sand over its rulemaking that eviscerates women’s equality, free speech, and due process on campus.

Judge John Broomes writes: 

“The legislative history [of Title IX] supports a finding that the term ‘sex’ referred to biological sex. As discussed, one of the principal purposes of the statute was to root out discrimination against women in education. The legislative history shows that Congress was concerned about the unequal treatment between men and women for admissions opportunities, scholarships, and sports.”

Congrats to @slf_liberty @MSLF @yaf @Moms4Liberty & @ADFLegal for this massive win.

Onward.

Here’s another campaign issue the Biden administration can ride down the poll numbers with. 

We wonder if they’ll spray Biden with fake tanner and send him out to give a four-minute statement about this decision. Hopefully someone asks about it at Wednesday’s press briefing.
