Advancing American Freedom continues its fight against the Biden-Harris Administration’s reinterpretation of Title IX, leading a coalition of 48 other amici in an amicus brief in Kansas v. Department of Education. Following the disappointing Supreme Court decision in Bostock v. Clayton County, the Department of Education issued a regulation reinterpreting Title IX’s protections against sex discrimination to fancifully include discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation. Several cases around the country, including Kansas v. Department of Education, are challenging this abandonment of reality. While the rule claims not to apply to sports, its logic basically destroys distinctions between men and women wherever Title IX applies. And the numbers don’t lie. Women and girls need sports and private spaces from which men are excluded.
“Advancing American Freedom, joined by dozens of fellow amici, have now filed three amicus briefs supporting challenges to the Biden-Harris Administration’s unlawful and absurd reinterpretation of Title IX,” said AAF General Counsel J. Marc Wheat. “If the courts rule for the Biden-Harris Administration in these cases, the relationship between women and their educational institutions around the country will fundamentally change for the worse. AAF intends to stand for the truth for its own sake and for all those who will suffer if America fails to live in reality.”

The Eleventh Circuit has ruled for Mom’s for Liberty in its challenge to the Brevard County School Board’s absurd speech restriction policies. The court repeatedly criticized the Board’s enforcement of these policies, which it used to repeatedly silence parents raising concerns relating to COVID-19 and LGBT issues in their kids’ schools. As the court explained regarding the school board’s policy prohibiting speech about board members, “Asking if the Board’s approach to this policy was ‘haphazard’ is like asking if the sky is blue—enforcement was so inconsistent that it is impossible to discern the standard used to assess which speech was permitted at any given meeting.” The Board had also cut off a parent who was reading from a sexually explicit book found in a school library. Getting to the heart of the issue, the court noted, “[I]t is remarkable for the Board to suggest that this speech can be prohibited in a school board meeting because it is inappropriate for children when it came directly from a book that is available to children in their elementary school library.” Advancing American Freedom is proud to have led a coalition of 13 other amici supporting Moms for Liberty and the courageous parents it represents.
“We applaud the courts ruling and its clarity,” said AAF General Counsel J. Marc Wheat. “Parents everywhere, and especially in Florida and the other states covered by the Eleventh Circuit, should be encouraged to continue fighting to hold their elected representatives accountable when those representatives try to use schools as centers of woke indoctrination.”
