Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said Thursday his state “will not comply” with recently unveiled changes to Title IX by the Biden administration.
“Florida rejects [President Biden’s] attempt to rewrite Title IX,” DeSantis said in a video posted to the social platform X. “We will not comply, and we will fight back.”
“We are not gonna let Joe Biden try to inject men into women’s activities,” DeSantis continued. “We are not gonna let Joe Biden undermine the rights of parents, and we are not gonna let Joe Biden abuse his constitutional authority to try to impose these policies on us here in Florida.”
The Biden administration on Friday unveiled a final set of changes to Title IX that add protections for transgender students to the federal civil rights law on sex-based discrimination. The changes will take effect in early August.

Many years ago, as young man, I was a Peace Corps trainee scheduled to go to Afghanistan. Since Afghans, especially high-placed Afghans, were known to dabble in homosexual acts, we were questioned by a psychiatrist as to how to decline such an offer. This was long-enough ago that homosexual sex was considered a bad thing.
Anyway, after everyone hemmed and hawed about the correct and polite answer, the psychiatrist gave it: “No”. No explanation, just ‘No’. We tend to forget how powerful that little word is, if we dare to use it.
DeSantis just said it and other governors have to say it too.
Once again America’s Govenor, Ron DeSantis, leads the way.
Love him as governor of Florida.
Hated him as stompy-foot wannabe president.
It’s refreshing to have DeSantis and Abbot fling this kind of stuff back into BiteMe’s face.
Insurrectionists, dissidents, and deplorables.
That’s good because we need a backup with brains/ba!!s.
That’s cruel.
I forgot Abbott. He is a great governor of my state!
He is a solid conservative. .
My fear is Trump will be jailed or just lose like he did in 2020.
Desantis was our best bet either way IMHO. But hey that train has passed…go Trump!
Go get ‘em, Governor DeSantis!
Good to see this. Bring this insanity to a head and defeat it. Would love to see other states take a stand.
I read it cover to cover once a year. Without it, I’d be writing absolute gibberish.
I don’t think he is fundamentally flawed, in fact quite the opposite. What I do think is he was not wise enough to stay out of the clutches of the GOP donor class. Now back in Florida, away from the Washington pigs he is back to doing good works and I hope he is wiser for the experience.
Yes, but none of the Democrats will and some of Republicans won't either.
Hands down, the best governor in the U.S.!
