GOP governors call on Biden admin to ditch proposed Title IX regulations, protect female sports
Fox News
25 Republican governors are urging the Biden administration to forgo or delay a proposed rule they say could prevent states from enforcing "duly-enacted statutes protecting fairness in women’s and girls’ sports."
"We write to submit a joint comment in opposition to the U.S. Department of Education’s proposed new regulation 34 C.F.R. § 106.41(b)(2) and respectfully request that it be withdrawn or delayed until the U.S. Supreme Court can address the questions raised in several pending cases that are challenging this administration’s expanded reading of Title IX," the governors, led by Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves, wrote in the letter. Kyle Morris covers politics for Fox News. Story tips can be sent to kyle.morris@fox.com and on Twitter: @RealKyleMorris.
Under the department’s proposed rule, no school or college that receives federal funding would be allowed to impose a "one-size-fits-all" policy that categorically bans transgender students from playing on sports teams consistent with their gender identity. Such policies would be considered a violation of Title IX.
