A federal judge in Kentucky ruled that Biden administration's Title IX regulations, which expanded protections for LGBTQ+ students, exceeded the president's authority. The judge vacated the entire 1,500-page rule, arguing that it was 'fatally' tainted by legal shortcomings. The decision came in response to a lawsuit by several Republican-led states who argued the rule was an overreach.
Title IX rules expanding protections for LGBTQ+ students have been struck down nationwide after a federal judge in Kentucky found they overstepped the president’s authority.
The war on woke: How a gay rights index once touted by Walmart and others became a conservative target The rule didn't explicitly address athletics and mostly detailed how schools and colleges were required to respond to cases of discrimination and sexual assault. A separate proposal dealing with transgender athletes in sports was put on the back-burner and later revoked after it became a focal point of Trump’s campaign.
The judge also found that it violated free speech rights by requiring teachers to use pronouns aligning with a student’s gender identity. Among the biggest critics of the rule was Betsy DeVos, former education secretary during Trump's first term. On the social media site X, she wrote that the “radical, unfair, illegal, and absurd Biden Title IX re-write is GONE.”
