The U.S. Sixth Circuit confirmed the blockage of a new order by President Joe Biden that would force schools to allow boys transitioning as girls into girls locker rooms, bathrooms, and sports fields. The three-judge panel voted unanimously to block the order. The judgment comes as a result of a lawsuit filed by Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – The Tennessee Attorney General is celebrating after the U.S. Court of Appeals confirmed the blockage of a new Title IX rule.
Jonathan Skrmetti said the appeals court confirmed the blockage of a new Title IX rule that “would have allowed boys into girls’ locker rooms and private spaces, remains BLOCKED and will not go into effect this summer.”
Skrmetti held a press conference earlier in the year to discuss the state’s fight to defend Title IX. He led six states in suing the federal Department of Education to challenge its “dangerous overhaul” of Title IX of the Education Amendments Act.
Title IX prohibits sex-based discrimination in schools that receive funding from the federal government.
“The U.S. Department of Education has no authority to let boys into girls’ locker rooms,” Tennessee Attorney General Skrmetti said in a statement. “In the decades since its adoption, Title IX has been universally understood to protect the privacy and safety of women in private spaces like locker rooms and bathrooms. Under this radical and illegal attempt to rewrite the statute, if a man enters a woman’s locker room and a woman complains that makes her uncomfortable, the woman will be subject to investigation and penalties for violating the man’s civil rights. Federal bureaucrats have no power to rewrite laws passed by the people’s elected representatives, and I expect the courts will put a stop to this unconstitutional power grab.”
