United States district judge Terry Doughty in Monroe issued a preliminary injunction barring a US Department of Education rule that extended sex discrimination protections under Title IX to LGBTQ+ students from taking effect in the Republican-led states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana and Idaho.
But Doughty agreed with the Republican state attorneys general of Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana and Idaho that Congress did not clearly authorize the department to enact the rule, which he said was inconsistent with the text, structure, and purpose of Title IX.
