How to exempt your child's school from enforcement on new Title IX rules
A federal lawsuit brought a preliminary injunction in late July
A federal lawsuit filed by Moms for Liberty against the Department of Education (DOE) challenging the Biden administration’s rewrite of Title IX regulations led to a federal district court’s preliminary injunction, prohibiting the DOE from enforcing Title IX changes in several states—and at the schools attended by the children of members of Moms for Liberty.
The national organization stresses this injunction “is preliminary in nature, meaning that unless an appellate court rules differently in the future, it will remain in effect until the district court can fully hear the case. It is currently under appeal.”
Ultimately, the issues surrounding Title IX will most likely be decided by the United States Supreme Court sometime in the next year.

From the FAQs
How will the Department of Education know that it can’t enforce its new Title IX regulations at schools where Moms for Liberty members’ children attend?
The district court has essentially created an opt-in system, allowing Moms for Liberty to submit a list of schools that its member’s children attend and to update that list on a continued basis. The list will not identify members by name, it will only list the schools.
Current Moms for Liberty members need to go through their “member portal” and click the link that says “Edit Profile” to opt into a list of schools that can be protected from Title IX implementation. This link is connected to a NEW list of US public schools that members can use to select their child’s school. If not already a member of Moms for Liberty, follow the link titled “Join the Fight” to sign up as a member and then continue to the opt-in to list to select the child’s school.
Detailed instructions of how to opt-in can be found at momsforliberty.org/title9.
How will my child’s school know that the Department of Education can’t enforce its Title IX rewrite against it?
…Individual schools will not be notified by the district court or Moms for Liberty that the DOE can’t enforce its Title IX rewrite against it. It is not known currently if the DOE itself will notify schools or post a list of schools.
Parents can always choose to directly notify a child’s school and/or school district that it is covered by the preliminary injunction by providing it with a copy of the notice Moms for Liberty files with the district court.
