Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said Thursday his state will not comply with recently unveiled changes to Title IX by the Biden administration.
Florida rejects [President Bidens] attempt to rewrite Title IX, DeSantis said in a video posted to the social platform X. We will not comply, and we will fight back.
We are not gonna let Joe Biden try to inject men into womens activities, DeSantis continued. We are not gonna let Joe Biden undermine the rights of parents, and we are not gonna let Joe Biden abuse his constitutional authority to try to impose these policies on us here in Florida.
The Biden administration unveiled a final set of changes to Title IX last week that add protections for transgender students to the federal civil rights law on sex-based discrimination. The changes will take effect in early August.
First Abbott tells the federal government to pound sand. Now DaSantis is doing likewise. At some point there has to be consequences for Republican governors for openly defying federal law, right?
