Unanimous: Supreme Court Justices Voice Opposition to Three Major Title IX Provisions

It All Begins HereIn a stunning move, all nine Supreme Court justices expressed their opposition to three key provisions in the new Title IX regulation (1). In its August 16 decision in support of the appellate court rulings to block enforcement of the new rule, the nine Justices expressed their unanimous disapproval of the new regulation’s plan to:

1. Redefine sex to include “gender identity.”

2. Allow transgender students to use the bathrooms and locker rooms designated for members of the opposite sex.

3. Create a new, overly broad definition of “hostile environment harassment” (the Title IX regulation brazenly seeks to negate the Supreme Court’s definition of “sexual harassment,” as delineated in its landmark Davis v. Monroe decision (2)).
