A diverse coalition of lawyers, subject-matter experts, parents, civil rights groups and former education officials say that under Title IX, the Biden administration's regulation is unlawful.
But in a letter to Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona last Tuesday organized by the Defense of Freedom Institute for Policy Studies, a diverse coalition of lawyers, subject-matter experts, parents, civil rights groups and former education officials said the Biden administration's additional anticipated regulations will "unfairly" penalize female athletes. Kelly Laco is a politics editor for Fox News Digital.
"The Department does not have the legal authority to issue regulations that would subvert rather than fulfill the requirements of Title IX by permitting or requiring biological males who identify as females to compete in sex-separated women’s sports and to use the intimate facilities and shared spaces of female students … we anticipate that the coming rulemaking on athletics will similarly conflate gender identity with Title IX’s sex-based protections and degrade those very protections," the groups wrote in their letter.
