Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin announced last week that he, along with 19 other state attorneys general, has filed an amicus brief in the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
This action supports a Tennessee-led coalition’s lawsuit challenging the Biden-Harris administration’s changes to the Title IX rule.

“Congress enacted Title IX to protect and promote educational opportunities for women and girls. I am proud to have filed our successful lawsuit challenging the Biden-Harris administration’s election-year effort to go around Congress and allow men into women’s and girl’s locker rooms, restrooms, and showers. That is also why I am leading this coalition of states to bolster our fellow states’ efforts to halt this unlawful Title IX rule.
Griffin emphasized that the new Title IX rule conflicts with existing law and the Constitution.

In June, Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti secured a preliminary injunction halting the rule in his state, along with Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Virginia, and West Virginia. Griffin’s brief urges the Sixth Circuit to uphold this injunction and confirm the rule’s unlawfulness.
In July, a federal court in Missouri also issued an injunction blocking the Title IX rule in Arkansas and several other states.
