On November 4, 2024, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit convened to hear arguments in a significant case involving the Biden-Harris administration's Title IX rewrite, which is being challenged by the Rapides Parish school board in Louisiana. The school board, representing over 20,000 students, argues that the new rule imposes harmful gender ideology on the district. The court session, which featured judges Jerry Smith, Don Willett, and Dana Douglas, is viewed as a critical moment ahead of Election Day. Additionally, a coalition of 15 states, including Texas and Idaho, is in court to oppose the administration's efforts to grant amnesty to undocumented immigrants. This case is part of a broader legal strategy against federal policies perceived as overreach by the current administration.
