Knudsen on Supreme Court Blocking Biden-Harris Administration’s Title IX Rule

August 18, 2024

The United States Supreme Court ruled today to block the Biden-Harris administration’s Title IX rule, a decision that halts the enforcement of regulations perceived as threatening the rights and safety of girls and young women.

In response to the ruling, Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen issued a statement reaffirming his commitment to protecting women’s rights and opposing federal overreach.

“Boys should not be allowed in the girls’ locker room,” Knudsen said. “I’m glad the Supreme Court agreed with us today. I will continue to fight to protect young women and uphold Montana’s law against federal overreach.”

This decision follows an injunction granted to Attorney General Knudsen in June, part of a lawsuit challenging the Department of Education’s expanded interpretation of Title IX. The rule in question sought to include “gender identity” under Title IX, which traditionally prohibits discrimination based on sex. Critics argued that the rule would undermine sex-based distinctions in educational and athletic opportunities, potentially disadvantaging female students. The rule also proposed allowing students of different genders to share bathrooms, locker rooms, dormitories, and overnight accommodations during school trips.

The Supreme Court’s ruling halts the implementation of this rule, preserving current policies and addressing concerns raised by critics who believe the changes could compromise privacy and safety in educational settings.
