Federal Courts Block Biden's Title IX Rule in 21 States

Judges rule that the administration's expanded protections for transgender students overstep legal boundaries and violate free speech rights.

Recent rulings by federal judges have halted the enforcement of Biden's Title IX rule in 21 states.
The rule aimed to protect LGBTQ+ students from discrimination but faced opposition over privacy and safety concerns.
Legal challenges argue that the rule exceeds the authority granted by the 1972 Title IX law.
The Department of Education is appealing the decisions and seeking to narrow the scope of the blocked provisions.
Judges have cited potential violations of free speech and the original intent of Title IX in their decisions.
