The Supreme Court has voted 5-4 to keep new regulations about sex discrimination in education on hold in roughly half the country. The court rejected a request from the Biden administration, with conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch joining the three liberal justices in dissent.
The regulations in question involve protections for pregnant students, students who are parents, and the procedures schools must follow in responding to sexual misconduct complaints. Notably, the protections for transgender students were not part of the administration's plea to the high court and remain blocked in 25 states and numerous colleges and schools due to lower court orders.
