Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis touted a lawsuit from multiple states pushing to block President Biden from integrating transgender ideology into U.S. colleges.
Florida filed a lawsuit seeking to block President Biden's recent changes to Title IX on Tuesday, with Gov. Ron DeSantis accusing the president of 'abusing his constitutional authority.' DeSantis announced the lawsuit on social media, saying Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina were also on board with the suit. The Biden administration's changes to Title IX prevent schools from banning biological males from competing in women's sports, among other things.
The Biden administration’s revision of Title IX redefines 'sex' as 'gender identity' and 'sexual orientation,' while also requiring schools to ensure students use 'preferred pronouns' for their classmates. If not, the school is at risk of losing federal funding. Under the rule, a school must also not separate or treat people differently based on sex, which will allow locker rooms and bathrooms to be based on gender identity. Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr announced the lawsuit on Monday, arguing the change is dangerous for women and would destroy women's sports.
Carr has previously pushed back against Biden’s Title IX revision, which was first introduced in July 2022. He called upon the NCAA to protect women’s sports by repealing the rule allowing biological males to participate in women’s sports. Carr has also taken similar legal action in support of Arizona and West Virginia’s 'Save Women’s Sports Act.'
