#SCOTUS won't allow #LGBT #student #protection in certain states

The U.S. #SupremeCourt declined on Friday to let President Joe #Biden's admin enforce a key part of a new rule protecting LGBT students from #discrimination in #schools & #colleges based on #gender identity in 10 #Republican-led states that had challenged it.

The justices denied the admin's request to partially lift lower court injunctions that had blocked the entirety of the rule expanding protections under #TitleIX, a law that bars #sex #discrimination in #FederallyFunded #education programs, while litigation continues. The lower court decisions had prevented the US Education Dept from enforcing the new rule, announced in April & set to take effect on Aug 1, in #Tennessee, #Louisiana & 8 other states.

The admin sought to restore a key provision of clarifying that #discrimination "on the basis of sex" encompasses #SexualOrientation & #gender identity, as well as the rule's numerous other provisions….

Biden’s admin had asked #SCOTUS to intervene on an emergency basis in a lawsuit by #Louisiana, #Mississippi, #Montana, #Idaho, & numerous Louisiana #school boards, & another suit by #Tennessee, #Kentucky, #Ohio, #Indiana, #Virginia, #WestVirginia & an assn of *#Christian* educators.
