The Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision denied the Biden administration’s emergency request to partially reinstate its new Title IX rule.
The sweeping changes to Title IX, which protects against sex discrimination in schools, cover sexual orientation and gender identity for the first time. Various Republican state attorneys general have persuaded judges to block implementation in roughly half the country.
The Biden administration contended those injunctions went too far, urging the Supreme Court to narrow them to primarily block the prohibitions on gender identity discrimination at the center of the challenges — allowing the other changes to go into effect.
Those updates, which were set to go into effect on Aug. 1, span from accommodations for pregnant students to retaliation protections to recordkeeping requirements.

Big win for women…!

Yes. Even though all three female justices abandoned women.
They likely got Title IX scholarships, that could’ve gone to a man pretending to be a woman, based on how they perceive the world. Repugnant.
It's terrifying that it was THIS CLOSE.
