Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen (R) said his state “will not comply” with recent changes to Title IX by the Biden administration, The Nebraska Examiner reported Friday.
“Protecting our kids and women’s athletics is my duty,” Pillen said in a statement, according to The Nebraska Examiner. “The president’s new rules threaten the safety of women and their right to participate in women’s sports. Nebraska will not comply.”
The Biden administration unveiled a final set of changes to Title IX last month that add protections for transgender students to the federal civil rights law on sex-based discrimination. The changes will take effect in early August.
“These final regulations build on the legacy of Title IX by clarifying that all our nation’s students can access schools that are safe, welcoming, and respect their rights,” Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said in a statement.
