Five Republican-led states have sued the Biden administration over its new rules expanding Title IX — a federal civil rights law that protects students from sex-based discrimination in federally funded schools — to protect transgender students.

A handful of Republican officials in other states have publicly said they will not enforce the new rules but have stopped short of filing lawsuits.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, sued the Biden administration Monday to block the rules, which will, in part, prohibit schools from barring trans students and teachers from using the school facilities and pronouns that align with their gender identities, among other policies. Paxton said the expanded rules mandate “compliance with radical gender ideology.”

“Texas will not allow Joe Biden to rewrite Title IX at whim, destroying legal protections for women in furtherance of his radical obsession with gender ideology,” Paxton said in a statement. “This attempt to subvert federal law is plainly illegal, undemocratic, and divorced from reality. Texas will always take the lead to oppose Biden’s extremist, destructive policies that put women at risk.”

1. How has Paxton not been indicted for something...

I understood that he basically bribed his way out of impeachment in Texas.

How is there no federal or state criminal charges?

Everyone knows the guy is a criminal. Why is there no prosecutor going after him...oh yeah. Now I remember.

Everyone is equal under the law, EXCEPT RICH WHITE POLITICIANS

2. Like Paxton gives a damn about women. Women, like children, are good political shields for idiot policies.

3. IIRC, the deal is you follow Title IX rules or you don't get the fed money.

So go ahead and turn your back on federal dollars while sinking further into shithole status. This is a new day, but I don't that suit is going to get you far.

4. Of Course They Did...

And of course Ken Paxton (R-Corrupt Douchebag) is leading the charge.

He can fuck off. When he gets there, he can keep fucking off. While he’s at it, he can ingest a bag of Richards.
