Attorney backs Texas school district over Biden administration's Title IX changes: 'We expect to win'

Representing the Carrol Independent School District in Texas, an attorney is confident in striking down the Biden administration’s new protections for trans-athletes.

Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday on behalf of the Texas-based Carroll Independent School District challenging the Biden administration's updates to Title IX, which expanded protections for LGBTQ+ students. The rule changes, effective Aug. 1, will allow discrimination and harassment claims based on gender identity and sexual orientation. Joshua Q. Nelson is a reporter for Fox News Digital.

"We want to see Title IX return to the original intent and what the law actually says, which is that the Title IX law was designed to ensure equal opportunities for women and girls, and at the same time, that law recognizes that to have those equal opportunities, you don't provide identical treatment to men and women," Waggoner said.
