TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — New federal court rulings are narrowing the Biden administration's enforcement of a rule for protecting LGBTQ+ students from
FILE - Misy Sifre, 17, and others protest for transgender rights at the Capitol in Salt Lake City, March 25, 2022. On Tuesday, July 2, 2024, a federal judge in Kansas blocked a federal rule expanding anti-discrimination protections for LGBTQ+ students from being enforced in four states, including Utah and a patchwork of places elsewhere across the nation. TOPEKA, Kan.
Republican officials seeking to roll back transgender rights hailed Sipple’s ruling as a victory for cisgendered girls and women, having framed the issue as protecting their privacy and safety in bathrooms and locker rooms. They’ve also argued the rule is a ruse to allow transgender females to play on girls’ and women’s sports teams, but Sipple said it would not apply to athletics.
The three groups involved in the Kansas lawsuit already have submitted lists of about 1,100 schools and colleges in the U.S. affected by Broomes’ order. An AP analysis shows that 69% are outside the 21 states where enforcement already is blocked. The various federal judges’ rulings block the rule at least through the trials of the states’ lawsuits, but they have concluded the states are likely to show that the Department of Education exceeded the authority granted by Title IX. Sipple and Broomes also said the rule likely violates the free speech rights of staff, student and staff who don’t recognize transgender students’ gender identities.
