TRANSGENDERISM ISSUES, PRONOUNS, ETC.---FEDERAL JUDGE PARTIALLY BLOCKS BIDEN ADMIN'S EXPANSION OF CIVIL RIGHTS LAW THAT WOULD FORCE SCHOOLS TO CATER TRANSGENDER STUDENTS

A Texas federal judge on Thursday partially blocked the Biden administration’s expansion of civil rights law that would force schools to cater to transgender students.

Trump-appointed District Court Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk granted a preliminary injunction on Thursday to Texas and two University of Texas at Austin professors blocking the Department of Education’s April rule. The rule prohibited “discrimination based on sex stereotypes, sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex characteristics” as part of sex-based protections under Title IX, according to the court files.

The final rule would have forced schools in Texas to allow “a transgender student access to a sex-separate facility or activity consistent with that student’s gender identity,” according to the court filings. Kacsmaryk ruled that the Biden administration’s expansion of Title IX was not consistent with the text of the statute, and blocked enforcement of the rule in Texas.

America First Legal Foundation and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed the lawsuit in May on behalf of the professors. The plaintiffs alleged that the rule would compel the professors to use “made-up” pronouns, Trump-Appointed Judge Partially Blocks Biden Rule Forcing Schools To Cater To Trans Students | The Daily Caller
