M4L escape clause covers thousands of schools – and counting

A defender of parental rights says more schools can join the more than 2,000 in 45 states that are now exempt from the Biden administration's Title IX changes.

 

Earlier this month, Moms for Liberty (M4L) launched a landmark function through their website to protect members' children from the president's redo for gender ideology in K-12 education. Now the organization is celebrating its "major win" in Kansas, where a district court has halted the implementation of Biden's Title IX policy through a preliminary injunction.

Four moms who are plaintiffs on the case refused to force their children to go to school and to call a boy a girl or to be in a situation in the locker room where they felt unsafe or uncomfortable because of the presence of a member of the opposite sex.

The judge ruled that the president's vague rewrite of the 1972 law violated Moms for Liberty's members' children First Amendment rights.

To protect the names of its members, which could be connected to their minor children, the parental rights group will submit a list of schools where members opted in to be protected.

Tiffany Justice, a co-founder of Moms for Liberty, tells AFN she is "very passionate" about ensuring girls have protected spaces, and her team is so thankful that the district court has clarified they can submit a list that can be updated at any time.

"The judge said that he recognized that people can join organizations or leave organizations, and so we get to submit lists periodically to the court to update that list of schools," she details.

That means parents who have not had their kids' schools submitted yet can still do so by joining Moms for Liberty.

"[If] they don't want the Title IX new regulations – that means boys in your girls' bathrooms, boys on girls' sports teams, secrets being kept from parents about gender confusion that their children might have – if you don't want those things happening … in your child's school, you can join as a member today," Justice reiterates.

That way, their child's school will be on the next list that gets submitted to the court.

"Our children should not be compelled to lie in school," Justice states.

Meanwhile, 21 states have already had federal judges block Biden's rewrite.
