Federal rule on Title IX is a ruse to require trans sports

participation, GOP states say

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) —
The Biden administration
has put on hold a plan to
prohibit across-the-board
bans on transgender ath-
letes on school teams
during an election year in
which Republicans are ral-
lying around restrictions on
trans youths. But GOP state
leaders are making sure
voters know the issue is still
on the table.
At least two dozen Re-
publican-controlled states
have sued over a different
federal regulation being
implemented to protect
the rights of transgender
students that they argue
would require govern-
ments to allow transgender
girls to play on girls teams.
The rule they are challeng-
ing doesn't specifically
mention transgender ath-
letes.

Students from Monarch High School in Coconut Creek, Fla., walk out of the school building Nov. 28, 2023, in support of a transgender
student who plays on the girls volleyball team.
