A Biden administration proposed rewrite of the landmark Title IX ban on discrimination in public school classrooms and athletic fields will repeal five decades of women’s progress in education and subject female athletes to physical injury and sexual assault, according to a coalition of 17 Republican state attorneys general.

In a withering 37-page critique of the Department of Education’s proposal to replace the biological definition of sex with “gender identity,” the attorneys general, led by Montana’s Austin Knudsen, submitted their comment letter in the final hours of a lengthy public comment period that ended Sept. 12 at midnight.
