A federal judge in Kentucky has ruled against the Biden administration's modifications to Title IX, which aimed to broaden protections for LGBTQ students.
The Education Department's changes, implemented in April, included definitions of discrimination based on gender identity and sexuality.
This ruling is a response to lawsuits initiated by over a dozen Republican-led states, arguing the changes conflicted with Title IX's original purpose.
Judge Danny C. Reeves stated that the administration exceeded its authority and deemed the new regulations unconstitutionally vague and broad.
The decision has sparked contrasting reactions, with some political leaders calling it a victory for traditional values while advocates argue it undermines protections for marginalized students.
