Monday may have been Education Secretary Miguel Cordona’s terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. The ink was barely dry on the Education Department’s vast rewrite of Title IX before three separate federal lawsuits were filed in quick succession in courthouses in Louisiana, Texas, and Alabama.

The essential elements of each lawsuit share a common theme: The Biden administration’s new Title IX rule is illegal.

Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 is a single sentence. It simply bars sex discrimination in any federally funded education program.

It doesn’t matter how much federal funding a school or institution of higher education receives. And it doesn’t matter whether such funding from the federal government is direct or indirect. So yes, even the vast majority of private schools must comply with the new rule.
