Judge Strikes Down Biden’s Title IX LGBTQ+ Protections
A federal judge in Kentucky has struck down the Biden administration’s revised Title IX regulations, deeming them an overreach of presidential authority. The ruling, which follows lawsuits from multiple Republican states, invalidates the entire regulation, reverting interpretations of Title IX to its pre-2022 status. The judge cited concerns about exceeding the law’s original scope and violations of free speech rights. The decision has been praised by conservatives and criticized by LGBTQ+ advocacy groups as a setback for student protections.
