Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed an executive order Thursday objecting to aspects of an updated set of rules related to Title IX — the federal law which bans sex-based discrimination at any schools that receive federal funding.
The new rules, released by the Biden administration in April and set to go into effect in the fall, expand the interpretation of harassment and discrimination to include those based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
The order declares that it is “the policy of this state that sex is an immutable characteristic of the human body, rooted in biology and the created order.” It also says that “students and employees of Arkansas’ educational institutions may not be forced to use false pronouns.”
