Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Thursday that he will ‘not comply’ with the Biden administration’s new rules that clarify Title IX forbids discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. 

The failed 2024 presidential candidate said in a video on X that ‘Florida rejects Joe Biden‘s attempt to rewrite Title IX.’ 

Last Friday the Biden administration rolled out new rules that would allow LGBTQ+ students who face discrimination to take the issue to their school under Title IX protections and also seek recourse from the federal government. 

The White House stopped at addressing Republican-backed bans on transgender athletes participating in women’s sports.

The move was largely seen as the administration avoiding a deeply politicized issue in an election year.
