The Biden administration’s proposed changes to Title IX, which aimed to expand protections against discrimination based on gender identity, have encountered significant legal pushback.
A preliminary injunction issued by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri has halted the implementation of these new rules, citing concerns over their legality and the potential impacts on women’s and girls’ sports and privacy.
Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin praised the preliminary injunction issued by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri in the case of Arkansas v. U.S. Department of Education.

The proposed changes by the Biden administration seek to reinterpret Title IX, a landmark civil rights law enacted in 1972, to include protections for transgender students. This would allow transgender students to participate in sports teams and use facilities that align with their gender identity, rather than their biological sex.
The injunction halts the implementation of the Biden-Harris administration’s new rule interpreting Title IX.
“Today’s ruling is a victory for women and girls in Arkansas and across the nation as yet again a federal court has stopped the Biden-Harris administration from going around Congress to implement a ridiculous, nonsensical, and illegal election-year move,” Griffin stated.
“Congress enacted Title IX to protect and promote educational opportunities for women and girls. This preliminary injunction halts the administration’s plan to allow men into women’s and girls’ locker rooms, restrooms, and showers. It stops the administration’s plan to allow males onto girls’ sports teams. It also protects teachers, administrators, and students from the threat of investigation or sanction for disagreeing with the gender ideology of the Biden-Harris White House. And it comes just in time before the start of the new school year.”

Griffin also commended the efforts of Solicitor General Nicholas Bronni and Deputy Solicitor General Dylan Jacobs, saying, “I congratulate Solicitor General Nicholas Bronni and Deputy Solicitor General Dylan Jacobs for their diligence that led to today’s victory.”
Griffin filed the suit on May 7 and was joined by the attorneys general of Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and an Arkansas high school athlete.
