Texas Court Blocks Biden Administration's Title IX Expansion

Federal judge rules against including gender identity and sexual orientation in sex discrimination protections under Title IX.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton led the lawsuit challenging the Biden administration's interpretation of Title IX.
Judge Reed O'Connor stated the administration overstepped its authority in redefining sex discrimination.
The ruling vacates the Biden administration's guidance and prevents its enforcement in Texas.
The decision impacts federal funding tied to compliance with the new Title IX guidelines.
Several states have filed similar lawsuits challenging the Title IX changes.
