Supreme Court Pushed to Uphold Block on Transgender Rights Rule

Category: Legal News

Three Republican attorneys general urged the US Supreme Court to uphold a lower court ruling that blocks the Biden administration from extending sex discrimination protections to LGBTQ+ students. They argue that the ruling is not overbroad and that the Supreme Court's 2020 Bostock ruling does not apply to Title IX. The US Solicitor General contends that the district court's ruling is too broad, but the states maintain that the Education Department's definition of sex-based harassment is excessive.
