DeSantis Defies Biden, Files Lawsuit To Block Title IX Changes

Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is defying the transgender agenda of President Joe Biden and his administration.

The governor, who campaigned for president in the 2024 Republican primary, has filed a lawsuit against the administration for its changes to Title IX, Fox News reported.

“Florida is suing the Biden Administration over its unlawful Title IX changes. Biden is abusing his constitutional authority to push an ideological agenda that harms women and girls and conflicts with the truth,” he said. “We will not comply, and we will fight back against Biden’s harmful agenda.”

Additional plaintiffs in the case are The Independent Women’s Law Center, Independent Women’s Network and Parents Defending Education and Speech First, Inc.

“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,” the report said.

“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,” it said.

Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr touted the lawsuit Monday when he said that the changes would destroy women’s sports.

“The Biden administration is destroying women’s sports by gutting commonsense provisions that protect female athletes and demanding that biological males be allowed to compete against females,” he said. “Today we have taken action to defend women’s rights to fair competition, and we will keep fighting until we end this absurdity once and for all.”

The lawsuit alleged that the president has gone beyond his authority as president by making the changes sans having it voted on by Congress.

“While different administrations can have different policy views, they cannot override the text that Congress enacted in 1972 or overrule the binding precedent of this circuit. The Biden rule does both—to the detriment of the States, their schools, and their students. For a host of reasons, this new rule violates the Administrative Procedure Act and should be set aside,” it said.
