Tenn. v. US Dept. of Ed.US Dist Court case filed 8/30/21 that challenges the U.S. Department of Education’s decision in June that discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity violates Title IX, which bans federal funding to education programs practicing sex-based discrimination.
The suit also contests guidance from the chair of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that employers can’t discriminate against gay or transgender people under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
