WASHINGTON / August 22, 2024 – In a stunning move, all nine Supreme Court justices expressed their opposition to three key provisions in the new Title IX regulation (1). In its August 16 decision in support of the appellate court rulings to block enforcement of the new rule, the nine Justices expressed their unanimous disapproval of the new regulation’s plan to:
1. Redefine sex to include “gender identity.”
2. Allow transgender students to use the bathrooms and locker rooms designated for members of the opposite sex.
3. Create a new, overly broad definition of “hostile environment harassment” (the Title IX regulation brazenly seeks to negate the Supreme Court’s definition of “sexual harassment,” as delineated in its landmark Davis v. Monroe decision (2)).
The SCOTUS decision affirmatively states, “Every Member of the Court agrees respondents are entitled to interim relief as to three provisions of that Rule: 34 CFR §106.10 (2023) (defining sex discrimination), §106.31(a)(2) (prohibiting schools from preventing individuals from accessing certain sex-separated spaces consistent with their gender identity), and §106.2’s definition of hostile environment harassment.”
The opinion comes on the heels of a string of defeats for the Biden Administration’s effort to revamp the Title IX law, enacted in 1972 to ban sex discrimination in schools. Prior to the Supreme Court ruling, the Biden Administration had lost in 7 out of 8 district court decisions, and lost in 3 out of 3 appellate court opinions (3).
As a result, the Title IX policy has been blocked in the states of LA, MS, MT, ID, TN, KY, OH, IN, VA, WV, KS, AK, UT, WY, TX, AR, MO, OA, NE, ND, SD, AL, FL, GA, SC, and OK, as well as in thousands of schools in 45 states attended by children of Moms for Liberty members and by members of the Young America’s Foundation (4). As a result, the 2020 Title IX regulation still remains in effect for those states and schools.
In recent months, the tide has turned against Marxist-inspired transgender ideology. These developments include growing scientific skepticism, opposition in public opinion polls, state-level laws (5), and hostility expressed by political candidates (6).
In addition, SAVE recently established a Citizen Watchdog program to monitor school compliance with the recent judicial Title IX decisions (7).
The Supreme Court decision applies only to the preliminary injunctions against the Title IX regulations, so its August 16 ruling will not be the last word on the subject. But the unanimity of opposition to three key regulatory provisions lends credence to critics of the controversial policy.
In the words of commentator Aaron Flanigan, “Whether or not they realize it now, American parents are standing on the precipice of one of the most far-reaching, extremist, and dangerous transformations of the education system in American history.” (8)

If you put Pocahontas, weekend at Bernie Sanders and Hyena Harris in a room together, you wouldn’t find one good braincell between the three of them! These government freeloaders have no clue WTH they’re doing.
Sorry but I will never confirm to these crazy freaks. If they were born a male I will always call them a boy. Same with female. I will never comply.
Of course the Great State of NEW YORK is not one of the states to block title IX. This deep blue State and brain dead HOCHUL go right along with the brain dead Dem. party line. What amazes me is the amount of uninformed voters in this State. Voting the same way getting the same results, Brain dead politicians. Back to title IX, transgenders don’t belong in the girls bathrooms or showers. Boys with boys and girls with girls. These trangenders that compete in girls sports are cowards. Just look at the olypic boxing where two bio. males beat the snot out of two girls. These trannies can’t compete against men because they may lose. Why not give them a catagory for trannis? Let the poor girls compete among them selves and get the scolarships and medals that they so deserve. Don’t hold your breath New Yorkers, the BLUE won’t stand for fairness.
I have only two words to say: VOTE REPUBLICAN – North Carolina was not on that list. My grandchildren are home schooled. I am sure more will follow. NC has a democratic governor. Vote him out.
Anyone with a ‘Y” chromosome is a male and it does not matter how they change their exterior.
If you will note, the “Respondents” are absent the major Blue States, as they did NOT fight this anti-science, malicious invasion of women’s rights; AND the DEMS call themselves The Party “for” Women—Seems SCOTUS including the radical Kagan, Sotomayor and Jackson (all Leftist women) disagree with that as they themselves realize they are, in fact, being abused.
Good to know common sense still does exist in our current society.
So it seems KBJ does in fact know what a woman is.
I never thought I would see the day where the so called leaders of America the political leaders that would represent our country, would push such a disgusting and far left matter on to the American people and their children . This is evil and very disgusting to see , our government is sick , twisted and evil ???? , and I am so glad to see the Supreme Court stand up for the morals and rights of the American people . We most definitely need to pray for the shameful leaders in the white house that the lord opens their eyes to their evil ways and give them a chance to turn from the evil , may God have mercy on them.
Yes please let’s fight and keep the God of Mankind
Folks know this as such as evil is it won’t go away but will attempt to find another sinister was to attack young children and families right up to the return of Jesus Christ thats Satan’s plan
So, are we now going to hear from the left stating that we must pack the SCOTUS to prevent these conservative Republican appointed justices from their tyrannical undemocratic attack on our laws!
