The Supreme Court has kept on hold in roughly half the country new regulations about sex discrimination in education, rejecting a Biden administration request.
on Friday kept on hold in roughly half the country new regulations about sex discrimination in education, rejecting a Biden administration request.At issue were protections for pregnant students and students who are parents, and the procedures schools must use in responding to sexual misconduct complaints.
The most noteworthy of the new regulations, involving protections for transgender students, were not part of the administration’s plea to the high court. They too remain blocked in 25 states and hundreds of individual colleges and schools across the country because of lower court orders.The rules took effect elsewhere in U.S. schools and colleges on Aug. 1.
The rights of transgender people — and especially young people — have become a major political battleground in recent years as trans visibility has increased. Most Republican-controlled states have banned gender-affirming health care for transgender minors, and several have adopted policies limiting which school bathrooms trans people can use and barring trans girls from some sports competitions.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in dissent that the lower-court orders are too broad in that they “bar the Government from enforcing the entire rule — including provisions that bear no apparent relationship to respondents’ alleged injuries.”By entering your email and clicking Sign Up, you're agreeing to let us send you customized marketing messages about us and our advertising partners.
