Attorney General Herbert H. Slatery III, leading a 20-state coalition, filed a lawsuit in the Eastern District of Tennessee today, seeking to stop the Biden Administration from enforcing more broadly interpreted federal antidiscrimination laws. "The complaint challenges federal guidance issued by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Department of Education concerning issues of enormous importance," a release from Slatery's office says. "The guidance purports to resolve highly controversial and localized issues such as whether schools must allow biological males to compete on girls’ sports teams, whether employers and schools may maintain sex-separated showers and locker rooms, and whether individuals may be compelled to use another person’s preferred pronouns."
