TN Attorney General’s Office Responds to Federal Government Appeal of Preliminary Injunction of Title IX Overreach
Nashville- The Tennessee Attorney General’s Office recently filed a response brief in Tennessee v. Department of Education at the Sixth Circuit. This brief defends the preliminary injunction issued by the Eastern District of Tennessee in July 2022 to protect Tennessee and 19 other states from U.S. Department of Education and EEOC guidance documents that purported to redefine sex discrimination under Title VII and Title IX. The now-enjoined guidance attempted to force schools to allow biological males to compete on girls’ sports teams, to prohibit sex-separated showers and locker rooms, and to compel individuals to use biologically inaccurate preferred pronouns.
