Today, Education and Workforce Committee Chairman Tim Walberg expressed approval following a federal court's decision to overturn an initiative by the Biden-Harris administration's Department of Education regarding Title IX. The proposed changes would have allowed biological males to participate in women's athletic competitions and enter traditionally female spaces, which raised concerns about the safety and opportunities for women and girls.

Chairman Walberg stated, "I am glad the court rejected the Biden-Harris administration’s attempt to rewrite Title IX, which would have undermined safety, freedom, and fairness for women." He further commented on the administration's efforts from its first day in office to change the legal definition of womanhood. "I am proud to support Title IX and the women who fought to defend it – today marks an enormous win for women and girls across America," he added.
