The attorneys general of 22 states have filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration over a new rule that seeks to block federal funding for meals from schools that don’t follow the administration’s gender-identity policies.

In May, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued a notice that state and local agencies, program operators, and sponsors receiving funding from the agency’s Food and Nutrition Service must update their policies to include new protections related to sexual orientation and gender identity.
