Talking like a king and changing regulations is one thing… having them stand up to a challenge is quite another.
Biden tried to rewrite the Title IX rules to benefit the activist class at the expense of female students and athletes, but that doesn’t guarantee State compliance.
Oklahoma is taking a stand. Congress didn’t change these rules, Biden did. So there’s no reason to think they carry the force of law.
That’s the theory, anyway.
Here’s Oklahoma’s official refusal to comply:
Oklahoma Responds To Joe Biden’s Rewrite Of Title IX

The text of this message is as follows:
“I’ll be really clear. President Biden deciding to rewrite Title IX is one of the most radical and illegal moves we’ve ever seen from the federal government. It’s an attack on our states. It’s an attack on our families. And it’s an attack on our young women and girls. We will not stand for this in Oklahoma.
We are pursuing all actions to oppose this illegal and unconstitutional move by the Biden administration. We have already instructed our districts to not comply with this illegal rule change for president Biden.
We will not allow boys in the girls restrooms.
We will not put boys in girls sports as a coach and as a parent.
I’ve watched young girls work to learn the lessons that come along with playing sports. They have been able to show leadership. They have been able to dedicate so much of their life to learning those lessons that come from hard work, that come from teamwork, that come from competition. And to see the federal government try to erase girl sports is disgusting.
We’ve already heard back from a lot of districts that are very pleased that we stood in front of them in this dictate from the federal government. We’re very proud of our districts that are holding the line, and we will never allow Joe Biden to control our schools and indoctrinate our kids.
Our young girls deserve these experiences, and they shouldn’t have them ripped away from some activists in Washington, D.C., who want to use the power of the federal government to impose radical gender theory on our state.
I will continue to keep you all updated as we continue to move swiftly and aggressively against this overreach.” – Ryan Walters, Oklahoma State Superintendent of Public Instruction
