EXCLUSIVE — A group of House Republicans is criticizing the Biden administration over its most recent overhaul of Title IX, accusing the president of using the federal civil rights law to advance a “radical gender ideology” that threatens women’s rights. 

In a memo circulated by the Republican Study Committee on Wednesday, the conservative caucus criticized President Joe Biden over his long-awaited final rule expanding Title IX to prohibit discrimination based not only on sex but also sexual orientation and gender identity. The revised rule, the Republicans argued, would stifle free speech and threaten women’s safety at schools.
