Biden’s Title IX Gambit Is Falling Apart

The Biden administration’s attempt to rewrite Title IX is landing hard on the rocks of reality. In the last several days, its Title IX rule — which allows males into female spaces — has been blocked by two federal courts, with more defeats likely imminent. This is good news for the millions of girls who stand to lose their privacy and opportunity if the administration gets its way.

June 23 marked 52 years since Title IX was enshrined as a landmark civil-rights law. By any measure, Title IX has vastly improved the lives of women and girls. It requires equal access to educational opportunities, athletic activities, and private restrooms and locker rooms in nearly all schools that take federal dollars. It’s become a pillar of American life — as solid as the Civil Rights Act or the Americans with Disabilities Act.
