The Biden rule, which makes ‘gender identity’ a protected class similar to sex, ‘turns Title IX on its head,’ the judge wrote.
A federal district court judge in Kentucky has struck down President Joe Biden’s effort to protect transgender students and make other changes to Title IX, ruling the U.S. Department of Education violated teachers’ rights by requiring them to use transgender students’ names and pronouns.
The decision threw out the administration’s proposed regulations, which prohibited discrimination based on gender identity.
President Joe Biden’s attempt to rewrite Title IX to include gender identity was officially blocked by a federal court Thursday.
The ruling: Eastern District of Kentucky Court Chief Judge Danny Reeves in an order Thursday said the regulation on Title IX, the federal law that bars sex-based discrimination, is unlawful. He said the rule is “arbitrary and capricious” and violates the spending clause and the First Amendment, among other issues.
The court’s decision to strike down the rule is being hailed as a major victory by opponents of the regulation.
