The move "clears the Biden Administration's illegal rewrite of Title IX" and restores the previous rule's language, McMahon said in a statement.

I’m pretty sure that it is illegal (and an impeachable offense) for Trump to repeal a Biden rule. No doubt a Federal judge with a name I cannot pronounce will so rule.
Look at the monstrosity called the Department of “Education:”
The U.S. Department of Education’s budget for FY 2024 was $268.4 billion, with the majority allocated to student aid and K-12 programs.
Overview of the Budget
In fiscal year 2024, the Department of Education (ED) spent $268.4 billion, representing 4% of total federal spending, despite employing only 0.2% of the federal workforce, highlighting its role primarily as a pass-through agency for grants and loans rather than direct service delivery (Lingobright) lingobright.comlingobright.com. The budget has grown significantly over time, increasing 371.6% in inflation-adjusted terms from 1980 to 2024, outpacing overall federal spending growth of 193.7% lingobright.comlingobright.com.
Major Allocations
Office of Federal Student Aid: $160.7 billion (60% of the total budget), covering federal student loans, Pell Grants ($34.7 billion), and work-study programs lingobright.comlingobright.com.
K-12 Education: Approximately $49 billion, distributed to states, local governments, and tribal authorities lingobright.comlingobright.com.
Title I Funding: $18.6 billion to support schools in low-income communities, a $200 million increase from 2023 levels GovInfoGovInfo.
Academic Acceleration and Achievement Grants: $8 billion in mandatory funding to close opportunity and achievement gaps, including tutoring and extended learning programs GovInfoGovInfo.
Preschool Expansion: New mandatory funding proposals for federal-state partnerships to provide free, high-quality preschool for four-year-olds, with potential expansion to three-year-olds
Abolish this agency now!
For those wondering why this wasn't done earlier, there are certain administrative steps that have to happen before a rule can be formally instituted or repealed, including a mandatory statutory "notice and comment" period. Can't be done overnight.
I used to call “gays” (and by extension, LBGTQs) “squeaks”!
And I used to say that they went “squeak squeak”!
‘Nuf said!!
What took so long?
Exactly!
Why the hell did they wait nearly TWO years to do it?
