CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WV News) — West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, co-leader of a six-state coalition, declared victory Thursday in challenging the federal Department of Education’s overhaul of Title IX of the Educational Amendments Act, which he argued would harm West Virginia students, families and schools.
The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky granted summary judgment in favor of the coalition — the court denied the Education Department’s cross-motion for summary judgment.
“This is a victory not only for the rule of law, but also for common sense and the safety of every student,” Morrisey said. “The Biden administration’s Title IX revisions would have ended sex-based protections for biological women in all aspects of education, and this would have marked a retreat from the progress women have made.”
