Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey announced that the Eastern District of Missouri granted his motion to block Joe Biden’s unconstitutional rewrite of Title IX that would allow biological males in female spaces.
“This is a huge win for women and girls across the country. The Court recognized that Joe Biden’s plan to allow biological males into female spaces was not only blatantly illegal, but also a slap in the face to every woman in America,” said Attorney General Bailey. “As the father of a young daughter, I take this fight personally. My office will continue to fight for the preservation of women and girls, who have a right to thrive without fear of being erased by a radical transgender ideology.”
In complete disregard for the rights of women, the Department of Education’s new regulatory requirements would have forced educational programs that receive federal money to accept a radical transgender ideology. Title IX prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any educational program that receives federal money, including K-12 schools, colleges, and universities. The new rule ignored these protections for women by forcing educational programs to accommodate biological males’ desire to enter female-only spaces and join female-only organizations. If schools ignore these requirements in an attempt to protect women’s rights, the federal government promised to revoke their funding.
In the lawsuit filed in May, General Bailey and the other states asserted that Biden’s asinine rewrite of Title IX was unconstitutional and circumvented congressional authority. They also pointed out that the new rule would have denied women and girls crucial rights enshrined in federal law in order to accommodate biological males.
Today, the Court sided with Missouri and ruled that the Department of Education’s new regulatory requirements were unconstitutional and an unlawful interpretation of Title IX.
Joining Missouri in filing suit were the attorneys general of Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and a brave Arkansas high school athlete.
