Supreme Court turns back Biden-Harris campaign to redefine ‘sex’ to include transgender politics
'The Biden-Harris administration's radical redefinition of sex turns back the clock on equal opportunity for women, undermines fairness, and threatens student safety and privacy'
The United States Supreme Court has affirmed an injunction against the plans by Democrats Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to rewrite the definition of “sex” in federal law so that transgender politics are reflected – and protected.
The ADF, which has fought numerous court cases over the dispute, said Friday that it is representing female athletes, Christian teachers and a school board in two lawsuits that challenge the administration’s willful decision to simply change the definition of the word – and create an entirely new law in the process.
Laws, of course, are created by Congress, not the White House.
What happened was that the court denied the Biden-Harris demand that would partly reinstate its “illegal attempt to change the meaning of the word ‘sex’ to include ‘gender identity’ in Title IX,” the ADF said.
That’s a federal law that protects equal opportunity for women in education and athletics.
The ruling came in two different legal challenges to the Biden-Harris scheme, the Cardona v. State of Tennessee case and the U.S. Department of Education v. State of Louisiana.
“The Supreme Court’s decision upholds two recent federal appeals court rulings that halted the administration’s unlawful rules in the states of Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Virginia; and Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, and Idaho. In one case, Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys represent a West Virginia high-school female athlete and Christian Educators Association International; in the other, they represent a Louisiana school board serving more than 20,000 students,” the ADF explained.
Jonathan Scruggs, an ADF official, said, “The Biden-Harris administration’s radical redefinition of sex turns back the clock on equal opportunity for women, undermines fairness, and threatens student safety and privacy.
“The Supreme Court rightly affirmed the 5th and 6th Circuit decisions to restrain the administration’s illegal efforts to rewrite Title IX while these critical lawsuits continue. This administration is ignoring biological reality, science, and common sense. Female athletes, students, and teachers across the country are right to stand against the administration’s adoption of extreme gender ideology, which would have devastating consequences for students, teachers, administrators, and families.”
Transgenderism, and abortion, actually, have been two of the key agenda points of the Biden-Harris administration.
Their tenure in the White House has accomplished little else, what with inflation of more than 20% hitting consumers, a wide-open southern border through which terrorists have entered the country, massive “climate” spending, and more.
The Biden-Harris team demanded last spring that it would redefine “sex” in Title IX rules so that the law then would demand that “schools … ignore the biological distinction between male and female in favor of ‘an individual’s sense of their gender.'”
The ADF said that injuries would follow.
“The Department of Education’s fundamental and radical rewriting of federal law would force schools across the country to embrace a controversial gender ideology that harms children—including the very children it claims to help. Schools will be required to allow males who identify as female to enter girls’ private spaces like restrooms, locker rooms, and showers; to participate in girls’ physical education classes; and—despite logically inconsistent disclaimers saying otherwise—to play on girls’ sports teams.”
There also are injunctions in several other cases that oppose the Biden-Harris ideology, including State of Kansas v. U.S. Department of Education, Carroll Independent School District v. United State Department of Education and State of Arkansas v. U.S. Department of Education.
