A federal judge has blocked the implementation of a new Title IX rule that prohibits discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation.

Danny Reeves, chief judge in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, handed down an opinion Monday that enjoined enforcement of that portion federal civil rights law, which was recently implemented by the administration of Democratic President Joe Biden.

Scheduled to take hold in August, the rule would have expanded Title IX civil rights protections explicitly to LGBTQ+ students for the first time since the enactment of the 1972 law.

1. Ignorant American Taliban MAGA judge

Two physical sexes, yes. But many genders.

2. Richard Dawkins got called out on this subject

So many folks born in between the two poles of XX and XY. All men have a pair of nipples for christ's sake. Some have three.

3. This will be overturned

The judge should be reprimanded as well for the overtly bigoted ruling and interjecting his personal religious beliefs.

4. Then take their federal tax dollars back.

Not that these unreconstructed jackasses care if public schools get federal funding, but here's chapter and verse:

A.
Title IX prohibits, with certain exceptions, any entity that receives "federal financial assistance" from discriminating against individuals on the basis of sex in education programs or activities

So keep all the federal dollars from the schools in these states until the case is resolved.
