After Public Blowback, Biden Finally Withdraws Insane Title IX Rule About Gender In Schools

The docket cited public comment and pending lawsuits for the withdrawal.
The Biden-Harris administration on Friday officially withdrew a proposed Title IX rule that would have forced all publicly-funded schools to largely allow males to participate in female sports if the athletes “identify” as female.
The administration admitted that the decision to withdraw was because of public backlash, and the numerous lawsuits that were sparked from the gender rule-change.
“In light of the comments received and those various pending court cases, the Department has determined not to regulate on this issue at this time,” Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said in a five-page docket published Friday.
According to Cardona, the Department of Education received more than 150,000 public comments about the proposal, National Review noted. “Commenters offered a broad spectrum of opinions,” the docket said, adding, “there are multiple pending lawsuits related to the application of Title IX in the context of gender identity.”
The proposed change would have barred schools and colleges from outright banning males from girls’ athletics, largely permitting males who identity as females to compete. There was, though, a vague loophole offered for schools to ban some male athletes if they could prove it affected safety and fairness and served “important educational objectives.”
