The topic of discussion for this Constitution Monday concerns Title IX, the law that President Richard Nixon signed into law in 1972 to protect women and girls. The law has protected female athletes and allowed them to play on a level playing field for more than fifty years until biological males decided that they could win medals by pretending they were females.
Now
the Biden administration is trying to take the protection completely away from
female athletes. According to Virginia Allen at The Daily Signal, the Biden
administration released its new rule on Title IX on April 19, and the Defense
of Freedom Institute filed a lawsuit against it less than two weeks later.
“We are asking the court to … basically
stop the effect of the regulations for a variety of legal reasons,” says Robert
Eitel, the institute’s co-founder and president. That’s because the rule change
is “simply unlawful,” he explained.
Among the changes to Title IX, the Biden
administration is attempting to redefine sex to include gender identity and
sexual orientation. Title IX is an education amendment that was signed into law
by President Richard Nixon in 1972 and requires there be equal opportunities
for men and women in schools across the country.
Eitel says the Biden administration’s
attempt to redefine sex in Title IX is “federal overreach.”
The states of Louisiana, Mississippi,
Montana, and Idaho filed the suit with the Washington-based Defense of Freedom
Institute, a conservative nonprofit dedicated to providing policy and legal
solutions within the spheres of education and the workforce.
The
discussion about the lawsuit against the Biden administration continued in “The Daily Signal Podcast.” Eitel also explained “what should be done about the
ever-growing issue of student loan debt, and why President Joe Biden can’t
legally issue mass student loan forgiveness.”
