Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said Monday that the state 'will not allow Joe Biden to rewrite Title IX at whim.'
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration on Monday in an effort to block President Joe Biden from expanding federal sex discrimination protections under Title IX to include transgender students.Title IX prohibits sex-based discrimination at federally funded colleges and K-12 schools. Earlier this month, the Biden administration updated the law to expand protections for LGBTQ+ and pregnant students.
This would force schools to permit biological males to use female restrooms and lockers. If schools refused, federal funding would be withheld,' Paxton added in his statement.Newsweek has reached out to Paxton's office and the White House via email for comment.The revised Title IX rules define sex-based harassment to include harassment based on sex stereotypes, pregnancy and related conditions, as well as gender identity and sexual orientation.
