Conservatives prepare legal action to oppose new Title IX rule

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Conservative groups and Republican officials are gearing up to challenge the Biden administration’s decision to expand sex discrimination protections under Title IX to LGBTQ+ students. The new regulations, set to take effect this summer, have sparked outrage among critics who argue that the changes redefine the law and infringe on the rights of accused students.

The Independent Women’s Forum, along with several other conservative groups, has threatened legal action over the new rule, which they believe unlawfully redefines ‘sex’ in federal law. Republican attorneys general have also vowed to sue President Biden over the regulations, although no lawsuits have been filed yet.

The new Title IX rule replaces the regulations put in place by the Trump administration in 2020. It expands the definition of sex-based discrimination to include bias based on sexual orientation and gender identity, affecting how colleges and universities respond to reports of sexual harassment and misconduct.

Critics argue that the provisions protecting LGBTQ+ students will have far-reaching consequences, impacting everything from bathroom use to pronoun usage. They also raise concerns about the potential censorship of speech and the infringement on the rights of women and girls.

While the Department of Education defends the new rule, stating that it does not restrict free speech, opponents are preparing for legal battles. The outcome of these challenges remains uncertain, but the impact of the regulations on educational institutions and students is expected to be significant.
