Today, America First Legal (AFL) and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed an amended complaint and a motion for a preliminary injunction against President Biden’s Secretary of Education, Miguel Cardona, among others. The aim is to halt the implementation of the Biden Administration's Title IX rules which they argue could have detrimental effects on women, children, and schools across the country.
The AFL and Texas have also submitted a motion for a preliminary injunction to immediately stop Biden’s Title IX Rule from taking effect. Citing imminent and irreparable harm, they have requested that the court briefing be completed by the week of June 3, 2024, with a preliminary injunction hearing to be held in the same week.
Stephen Miller, President of America First Legal, stated: “We are asking the federal district court to grant an immediate injunction to halt the implementation of Biden’s attack on girls and women. Biden’s new Title IX rule would force girls in every public school in America to share restrooms, locker rooms, and private facilities with men. It would force onto millions of children the destructive and abusive ideology which holds drugs and mutilative surgery can reverse a child’s gender and make boys into girls and girls into boys. We are privileged to work in partnership with Texas and the indomitable Ken Paxton to seek the urgent termination of this lawless decree.”
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton added: “Texas is asking the court to put an immediate stop to Biden’s outrageous, unlawful assault on women’s rights. Biden cannot violate the Constitution to subvert Title IX protections for women in his effort to accommodate the fringe demands of ‘transgender’ movement activists.”
