Florida’s Role Blocking Biden’s Title IX Rule


The combined efforts of Florida’s Attorney General Ashley Moody, Moms for Liberty and the Young America’s Foundation have helped stall the Biden administration’s efforts to revamp a Title IX that would allow transgender student from participation in female sports.

A third federal judge just issued a issued a temporary order from the rule taking effect.

In April of this year, Biden’s Education Department released its final version of new Title IX regulations which is expected to begin on August 1st.

Moody helped to lead the lawsuit along with 26 other GOP controlled states to squash the U.S. Department of Education’s (DOE) “reform” of the popular girl’s program. 

Moody and other state AGs said the DOE’s authority went way beyond the agencies boundaries and violated the 1972 law that banned discrimination against female athletes at colleges and universities.

The new rule by the Biden White House reverses a Trump-era policy that under Title IX changes, schools would be allowed to use tougher standards when investigating a sexual assault, harassment, or a sex discrimination claim.

The DOE has already appealed the other rulings by federal judges. 

What happens next? Michael O’Neill, the Vice President of Legal Affairs Landmark Legal Foundation says the judge’s new orders blocking the Title IX rule from going into effect will stay put as other cases will be heard by federal courts. O’ Neill says at this issue will play out in the courts, and it’s possible the U.S. Supreme Court could hear this challenge.
