Trump-appointed Kansas judge: Injunction bars schools where Moms for Liberty members’ children are enrolled from following measure
A lawsuit backed by the national far-right Moms for Liberty organization is derailing Buncombe County schools’ plans to implement a new federal rule that would protect students from discrimination because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. The rule, set to take effect Aug. 1, amends a section of Title IX, the landmark federal civil-rights law that prohibits discrimination in education stemming from race, color, religious affiliation, nationality or sex.
Moms for Liberty joined a lawsuit challenging the rule, and a Trump-appointed U.S. District Court judge in Wichita who was assigned the case issued an injunction blocking the rule’s implementation pending a full trial. He ruled that the injunction would bar any school in any state where a child of a Moms for Liberty member is enrolled from following the measure.
