Federal Court Blocks Expansion of Title IX to Include Gender Identity

Another federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction against the federal government’s expansion of Title IX, which aims to redefine “sex” to include gender identity and sexual orientation.

The latest ruling on July 2 was in the case of “Kansas v. United States Department of Education,” which involves several states and organizations challenging the Department of Education’s (DOE) final rule to redefine “sex,” slated to take effect on August 1.

The plaintiffs, including Alaska, Utah, and Wyoming, as well as Moms for Liberty, Young America’s Foundation, and Female Athletes United, argued that the DOE’s new rule exceeds its statutory authority under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972.
