Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Louisiana have announced they will reject the rewrite by the U.S. Department of Education (DoE) of Title IX regulations, which essentially guts legal protections for women and men.
Title IX is a 1972 federal law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of biological sex in educational programs and activities that receive federal funding. President Biden hopes to expand that definition to include gender identity.
“Florida rejects Joe Biden’s attempt to rewrite Title IX. We will not comply and we will fight back,” said Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis in a short video response posted on X.
DeSantis said Florida will not allow Biden to “try to inject men into women’s activities” or allow Biden to “undermine the rights of parents,” or “abuse his constitutional authority to try to impose these policies on us here in Florida.”
DeSantis said Florida stood for opportunities for all people, not just the few favored by Democrats.
“We are not going to let Biden get away with it. We will not comply,” said DeSantis.
