On Friday, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee issued a <a href=\"https:\/\/content.govdelivery.com\/attachments\/INAG\/2022\/07\/17\/file_attachments\/2215389\/Preliminary%20Injunction%20Order%20in%20Title%20IX%20case.pdf\">preliminary injunction<\/a> preventing the administration from enforcing the rule in those states until the lawsuit is resolved. <\/p>\n<p id=\"p-38\">Title IX prohibits sex discrimination in federally funded education programs. Under the new rule, the Department of Education\u2019s Office of Civil Rights would enforce Title IX also \u201cto prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.ed.gov\/about\/offices\/list\/ocr\/docs\/ocr-factsheet-tix-202106.pdf\">fact sheet<\/a> from the Civil Rights Office gives examples of incidents it could investigate. One involves a male student not being allowed to use the girls\u2019 restroom or try out for the girls\u2019 cheerleading team. <\/p>\n<p>Alliance Defending Freedom General Counsel Kristen Waggoner told The Federalist that this interpretation of Title IX is unlawful because the executive branch does not have the power to rewrite federal law. <\/p>\n<p>Waggoner said it is also harmful, particularly to girls. \u201cIt harms all students, but especially young women, in that it opens up their private spaces \u2014 their locker rooms, shower facilities, potentially overnight trip accommodations, and yes, their women\u2019s sports teams \u2014 to members of the opposite sex if they do nothing more than simply identify as female,\u201d Waggoner said, noting that Alliance Defending Freedom filed a motion to intervene in the case on behalf of the Association of Christian Schools International and three female athletes at public schools. <\/p>\n<p>The administration\u2019s interpretation of Title IX relies on the Supreme Court\u2019s decision in <em>Bostock v. Clayton County<\/em>, which held that an employee could not be fired just for being homosexual or transgender. <em>Bostock<\/em>, however, only dealt with Title VII, not Title IX, the lawsuit points out. <\/p>\n<p>The Department of Education\u2019s rule followed an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalregister.gov\/documents\/2021\/01\/25\/2021-01761\/preventing-and-combating-discrimination-on-the-basis-of-gender-identity-or-sexual-orientation\">executive order<\/a> last January stating the Biden administration\u2019s policy \u201cto prevent and combat discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>That order told the federal agencies to consider changing their rules and served as the basis for a U.S. Department of Agriculture policy requiring schools to allow boys into girls\u2019 bathrooms in order to get federal funding for school lunches, as The Federalist previously <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/05\/25\/biden-admin-k-12-schools-must-put-boys-in-girls-bathrooms-to-get-federal-lunch-money\/\">reported<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>According to Waggoner, how the case might effect actions it doesn\u2019t directly challenge \u2014 such as the USDA policy \u2014 will depend on how broadly the court rules. In the meantime, the administration cannot enforce the Department of Education\u2019s interpretation of Title IX against the 20 states that challenged it. <\/p>\n<p>Tennessee Attorney General Herbert Slatery III said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tn.gov\/attorneygeneral\/news\/2022\/7\/17\/pr22-23.html\">press release<\/a>, \u201cWe are thankful the Court put a stop to it, maintained the status quo as the lawsuit proceeds, and reminded the federal government it cannot direct its agencies to rewrite the law.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Olivia Hajicek is an intern at The Federalist and a junior at Hillsdale College studying history and journalism.
