Attorney General Lynn Fitch issued the following statement.
On Friday, August 16, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the Biden-Harris administration’s attempt to vacate Mississippi's injunction against their unlawful Title IX rule.
Justice Sotomayor emphasized in her dissent that “every Member of the Court agrees” that Mississippi is entitled to an injunction against the rule’s redefinition of sex discrimination to include gender identity.
"This ruling is a significant step to preserving the integrity of Title IX and ensuring that girls everywhere are given a level playing field to reach their full potential," said Attorney General Lynn Fitch. "I am proud to have joined my colleagues from Louisiana, Idaho, and Montana in this challenge to the Biden-Harris administration's extreme political agenda."
This means that Mississippi's schools will not have to comply with the Biden-Harris administration’s demand that they let boys in girls’ bathrooms as our children return to school.
General Fitch brought the first lawsuit against this radical rule in April along with the Attorneys General for the States of Louisiana, Montana, and Idaho. In June, a federal judge sided with Attorney General Fitch issuing a preliminary injunction against the Biden Department of Education’s Title IX rules, which would transform the federal law into a prohibition against separate bathrooms, locker rooms, and other private spaces in education from elementary schools to colleges and universities and set up a framework to make female athletes compete with transgender athletes for spots on teams and awards in competitions. The preliminary injunction, which prevents it from going into effect pending further review by the district court, applies to those four states.
Earlier this month, Attorney General Fitch led a multistate amicus brief at the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals supporting a challenge to the Biden administration’s attempt to transform Title IX.

Joined or led the effort?
What a great day! Should never have been an issue!
The text (in red, even) says, "Fitch led". Of course we all know that's not true.
She says she was 'proud to join...'. Trying to think of any time in her looong, storied state employee career she has "LED" anything, not counting office redecoratings at every stop.
Give her a break guys. There's nothing better than giving the middle finger to leftists.
lynn fitch couldn't lead a girl scout troop. but she is very good at jumping on to the bandwagon of someone else's work and then taking credit for it.
General Fitch said “I’m their leader, which way did they go?”
Ask Shad about her leadership in the welfare scandal! In addition , yes Mrs Finch girls do need to have a level playing field regardless of the opinions of the left or right. Girls play girls sports and boys play boys sports. That’s a no brainer.
Now, help get that money back from the welfare scandal and prosecute the ones involved! Then you can say you really did something for the people of Mississippi.
In Mississippi, this is a solution looking for a problem.
Did Fitch bring the CHICOMS to their knees with her lawsuit?
While I am no fan of Lynn and I always vote against her, give her some credit on this one. It is a victory for all women, and for all men with integrity.
Shad, go back to your little book article and add some more “way to go shad” comments. I figured the book would at least get 100 comments the first day and more than half are from his own office!
As 12:45pm said, kudos to Fitch on this one. Why this issue is even a question is so bizarre.
You should give credit only when and were due. She had nothing to do with the filing or its outcome. Surely you must know that. Sounds to me like she roped you into another vote for the red dress.
I'm sure she'll feel good about your giving her 'credit' for a 'non issue'.
