Biden's Title IX Protections for LGBTQ+ Students Face Nationwide Legal Hurdles

New regulations take effect in some states but are blocked in others, creating confusion for schools and students.

The Biden administration's Title IX rules expand protections to include gender identity and sexual orientation.
Federal courts have issued injunctions blocking the regulations in over half of the U.S. states.
Schools in states where the rules are blocked remain under older, Trump-era regulations.
Legal challenges from conservative groups and states argue the rules overstep federal authority.
The Supreme Court has been asked to clarify the scope of these injunctions.
