In a major push back against the Biden administration’s reinterpretation of Title IX, 21 Attorneys General from across the United States have joined forces to challenge the new guidelines. Title IX is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in education programs or activities that receive federal funding.

The Biden administration recently announced new guidelines that broaden the definition of sex discrimination under Title IX to include discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. This move has sparked controversy and outcry from conservative groups, who argue that the new interpretation goes beyond the scope of the law and infringes on the rights of women and girls.

The 21 Attorneys General who have signed on to challenge the new guidelines argue that the reinterpretation of Title IX is a clear overreach of federal authority and is not based on sound legal reasoning. They contend that the Biden administration is attempting to unilaterally change the law without going through the proper legislative process.

The Attorneys General also raise concerns about the potential impact of the new guidelines on women’s sports and safety in schools. They argue that allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports or use women’s facilities could create unfair advantages and compromise the privacy and safety of female students.

The push back from the 21 Attorneys General is the latest in a series of challenges to the Biden administration’s policies on gender and sexuality. Conservative lawmakers and advocacy groups have also raised concerns about the administration’s support for transgender rights and non-binary identities.

Supporters of the new guidelines argue that they are necessary to protect the rights of LGBTQ students and ensure that they have equal access to education. They argue that the previous interpretation of Title IX was narrow and exclusionary, and that the new guidelines are a step towards creating a more inclusive and equitable education system.

The battle over the reinterpretation of Title IX is likely to continue in the coming months, as conservative and liberal groups continue to debate the implications of the new guidelines. Ultimately, the issue may be decided through legal challenges in the courts, where the constitutionality of the Biden administration’s actions will be put to the test.
