Two federal judges in Texas have prevented the Biden administration from enforcing a series of protections for LGBTQ+ students included in Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972.
The judges, Matthew Kacsmaryk in Amarillo and Reed O'Connor in Fort Worth, cited a 2020 U.S. Supreme Court decision saying that a ban against sex discrimination in the workplace contained in a different law, Title VII, which covers gay and transgender workers. They said that Title VII does not govern Title IX.
