A federal district court judge in Kentucky has struck down President Joe Biden’s effort to protect transgender students and make other changes to Title IX, ruling the U.S. Department of Education violated teachers’ rights by requiring them to use transgender students’ names and pronouns.

The decision threw out the administration’s proposed regulations, which prohibited discrimination based on gender identity.

The Biden administration’s Title IX rules expanding protections for LGBTQ+ students have been struck down nationwide after a federal judge in Kentucky found they overstepped the president’s authority.

A federal judge struck down the rule just days before Donald J. Trump, who promised to unwind much of it, assumes the presidency.

A federal judge in Kentucky ruled that Title IX rules barring sex discrimination do not apply to gender identity.

A federal district court issued a decision Thursday blocking the Biden administration’s attempt to change the meaning of “sex” in Title IX.

A federal judge blocked the Biden administration’s new Title IX rule nationwide, crushing its efforts to strengthen discrimination protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

Thursday’s decision is a legal victory for six GOP attorneys general, including KY’s Russell Coleman, who sued last spring to block the new rule change from being enforced.

A federal judge in Kentucky vacated the regulations, which bolstered the rights of victims of sexual misconduct and LGBTQ+ students.
