A watchdog group says the U.S. Department of Education ignored a federal court order on the Biden administration's expansion of Title IX protections and is dragging its feet on a report about it.
Empower Oversight said a whistleblower came forward showing the Department's Office for Civil Rights continued to process complaints involving gender identity and sexual orientation despite a federal judge in Tennessee blocking the Biden administration from enforcing that guidance in July 2022.
"Court orders are not suggestions. Federal officials cannot ignore injunctions simply because they disagree with them," Tristan Leavitt, president of Empower Oversight, said in a news release. "Yet our client disclosed that the Biden Department of Education did just that when it came to enforcing Title IX."
