U.S. Court of Appeals temporarily blocks ‘Title IX’ from taking effect

Columbia, SC (WOLO) — South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson says  the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit Court has ruled in favor of a temporary administrative injunction against ‘Title IX’. The new rule that was initially put in place by the Biden administration would have required any institution that receives federal funding to accommodate students and teachers gender identity. Meaning, boys and men who were born as such biologically, but who identify as female would be allowed to access the girls bathroom and locker rooms and vice versa.

According to Wilson, if implemented the rule would have also required students and teachers to use others “preferred pronouns’ like “he/him”,  “she/her”, or “they/them” when addressing the individual.

Attorney General’s from South Carolina, Alabama, Florida, and Georgia filed a request to block the rule claiming the Biden Administration did not have the authority to make this change. A judge agreed blocking the move that was set to go into effect August 1, 2024 nationwide.  According to Wilson, the four states included in the injunction now plan to file a motion for injunction pending an appeal he says must be fully briefed by August 7, 2024.

Attorney General Alan Wilson commented on the temporary block saying,

“This is a big win in our fight to protect children,”…. “We’ve argued that the Biden administration does not have the authority to make this change, and with this temporary injunction, we now have time to make our case in court without our children being put in danger.”
