Mississippi AG suing over Title IX change
SUMMARY: Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch is suing the Biden administration over its plan to expand Title IX to cover LGBTQ+ students. Title IX was established in 1972 to protect women from discrimination, but the Biden administration announced that it will now also prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex characteristics in federally funded education programs. Fitch, along with other Republican attorneys general, filed a legal challenge to this ruling, claiming that Title IX has been crucial for girls for over fifty years and the Biden administration’s actions will undo important progress.
