BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) - Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill will speak about the new Title IX rules with Gov. Jeff Landry and State Superintendent of Education Cade Brumley on Monday, April 29.
The U.S. Department of Education released finalized rules and regulations to protect students against sex-based discrimination and harassment. The rules promote accountability and fairness and support students and families.
Brumley suggested schools in Louisiana should not follow the new rules released by the United States Department of Education. In a letter to the school systems, he said that the new Title IX rules could be a “direct contradiction” to Louisiana’s Fairness in Women’s Sports Act. This law states school athletic programs must be divided by biological gender.
In a recent statement, Murrill said President Joe Biden's "extreme gender ideology is a threat to the safety and dignity of women and girls."
"The people, who can’t even tell you what a woman is, just killed Title IX. This won’t stand, lawsuit coming soon," Murrill said.
The press conference will be streamed in the video player above at 11 a.m.
