A federal court ruling last month prevents the US Department of Education from enforcing the new Title IX rules in many schools across the region and state, which is expected to impact almost every school district in southeastern Pennsylvania.
Moms for Liberty joined two other national organizations and four states in filing the lawsuit against the US Department of Education challenging the Biden administration’s rewrite of the Title IX regulations. The groups were successful in prohibiting the Department from enforcing the changes in the four states and at the schools attended by the children of Moms for Liberty members.
For now, the ruling is a huge victory for Moms for Liberty, which describes itself as “an organization dedicated to fighting for the survival of America by unifying, educating and empowering parents to defend their parental rights at all levels of government.”
Why It Matters. Why is this such a big deal? As I explained earlier this summer, the new Title IX regulations basically strip rights away from girls and women. For example, if a biological boy decides he identifies as a girl on a certain day, he can use the girl’s bathroom. The school is not required to notify the boy’s parents of his change in gender or that he is using the girl’s bathroom. If a girl complains about seeing a penis in the girl’s bathroom, she can be investigated for “sex-based harassment.” Additionally, students and teachers may also be subject to investigations for either intentionally or unintentionally referring to someone by the wrong pronoun.
