Court Grants Injunction in PDE Title IX Lawsuit
Press Releases
August 22, 2024 – Today, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals granted an injunction preventing the Biden-Harris Title IX rewrite from going into effect in South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, and Alabama after the Parents Defending Education coalition sued the Biden-Harris administration over the unlawful rewrite of Title IX.
Nicole Neily, President of Parents Defending Education:
“We are deeply grateful that the 11th Circuit issued an injunction in our Title IX case, and we look forward to engaging with the district court on the merits in the months ahead. The Biden-Harris rewrite of this 52-year-old law flagrantly disregards both constitutional rights and the Administrative Procedure Act, a point on which multiple appellate courts now concur. It’s an honor to stand alongside Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina in the battle to defend the privacy and safety of America’s women and girls, although tragic that such litigation had to be filed in the first place.”
Caroline Moore, Vice President of Parents Defending Education:
“We are thrilled that the court agreed to temporarily stop the Biden administration’s changes to Title IX. This administration has consistently challenged female biology and cannot conclusively state what differentiates female and male biology. Today is a good day for students and school districts in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. Parents and students alike can sleep well knowing their kids won’t be subjected to threats of lawlessness, harm, and injury in their academic institutions.”
Erika Sanzi, Director of Outreach of Parents Defending Education:
“We are grateful but also not surprised that the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in our favor and that the entire Biden-Harris Title IX rewrite is now on hold in Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and Florida. While bureaucrats work tirelessly to inject gender ideology into this 52 year old law, we remain steadfast in our commitment to preserve it.”
Michele Exner, Senior Advisor of Parents Defending Education
“While the Biden-Harris administration is committed to the destruction of women’s sports, dismantling due process and free speech, we are fortunate the courts granted this necessary injunction to stop these destructive policies from going into effect. Families and young girls, especially female athletes, can breathe a sigh of relief after today’s decision. This is a hard-fought victory and an important step forward in continuing to chip away at the Biden-Harris administration’s destructive Title IX policies.”
