Paxton files injunction to stop Biden’s Title IX review

(WBAP/KLIF) — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed an amended complaint and preliminary injunction against the Biden administration’s attempt to remove Title IX protections for women in the nation’s schools.

The amended complaint sheds light on the history of Title IX, stating that “the prohibition on discrimination on the basis of sex was understood to mean biological sex, not gender identity.” New U.S. Department of Education rule requires schools to allow men to use women’s restrooms and locker rooms, as well as women’s sports teams, and requires schools to punish those who refer to people using pronouns biologically precise.

Paxton is trying to stop the new rule from going into effect while his original lawsuit continues. As it stands, schools have until August 1 to comply with the new rules or risk losing federal funding.
