“We will not comply.”
Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-Arkansas) joins fellow red states in defying the latest revisions by the Biden administration to Title IX, which gives further accommodation to transgender students.
Huckabee Sanders made an executive order last Thursday that states that the White House under Joe Biden is “attempting to unilaterally rewrite federal law to advance its radical gender ideology against women and girls.”
She further said that the “Biden administration redefines “sex” to fit its own absurd political ideology—not science—and imposes it on women, girls, and children.”
The Arkansas governor noted that rewriting Title IX “is a plainly ridiculous change that will lead to males unfairly competing in women’s sports; receiving access to women’s and girls’ locker rooms, bathrooms, and private spaces; and competing for women’s scholarships.”
In 1972, Congress ratified Title IX to avoid sex-based discrimination in schools and education programs that are funded by the federal government.
“My message to Joe Biden and the federal government is that we will not comply,” Huckabee Sanders remarked.
“If President Biden threatens our state with a loss of educational funding because we refuse to go along with his election-year pandering, Arkansas will take the federal government to court. That’s because this issue goes beyond a single locker room or a missed scholarship.”
She added, “The truth is important. Biology is important. The differences between men and women are important. Title IX was created because of those fundamental truths, and for half a century, it has allowed women and girls to access colleges, sports, and scholarships that were previously unavailable. We won’t let Biden threaten that, and we certainly will not let him erase our existence as women.”
Last week, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis quipped that the state will not accept the changes to Title IX. Oklahoma Superintendent Ryan Walters shared with Newsmax that he has sent all 542 school districts and charter schools in the state not to follow.
Moreover, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Montana signed in on a federal lawsuit against the revisions, and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton added that they have already filed their own lawsuit on Monday.
“This is all for a political agenda, ignoring significant safety concerns for young women students in pre-schools, elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, colleges, and universities across Louisiana and the entire country,” said Republican Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill.
“This all comes from the people who don’t even know how to define the word ‘woman.’ I’ll always stand up for children and families across this state.”
