The U.S. Supreme Court blocked enforcement of the Biden’s Administration’s Title IX rules, which would overturn policies to protect women’s sports and female-only spaces in public schools. The Court upheld common sense laws in 26 states, including Kentucky, that kept biological boys out of girls bathrooms and girls’ sports teams. Attorney General Russell Coleman, who joined the lawsuit, said, “We went to the U.S. Supreme Court to defend equal opportunities for Kentucky’s women and young girls. At its core, this is a fight for common sense itself. And we’ve won at every level of our judicial system.” The ruling upholds federalism—the idea that states should govern themselves and respects state legislatures. It also pushes back against an overreaching federal government.
