ACLU Files Brief to Shield WI School Gender Policy From Title IX Suit
ACLU jumps in to defend a Wisconsin school's gender rules while parents demand the girls' Title IX challenge reach a full hearing.
ACLU filed a brief supporting the New Richmond WI school board against a lawsuit by female students over gender policies on bathrooms and facilities. One side says biology protects girls' spaces. The other wants the case dismissed before evidence is aired.
Why these scores — Public ACLU brief and court docket entries confirm the filing. @MikeAlfonsoWI and @Moms4Liberty tweets accurately reference the motion to dismiss but add interpretive framing on biology and rights. No bot amplification detected; contention stems from real docket split rather than manufactured quotes.
Girls in New Richmond sued their school board over policies opening female bathrooms and locker rooms to boys, and the ACLU filed a brief urging the court to toss the Title IX case early.
Parents and critics argue the policy puts biological males in girls' private spaces and that safety data on sex differences gets ignored. The ACLU frames the suit as an attempt to block inclusive rules already cleared by the district.
The brief cites precedent favoring school discretion while the plaintiffs point to Title IX's original sex-based protections. Both sides trade filings on X, each claiming the other dodges the core question of evidence versus policy.
Policy lets biological males into female bathrooms and facilities; Title IX was written to protect sex-based categories backed by physical differences.

Court should reject the case at the threshold so districts can keep gender policies without litigating every challenge under old interpretations of Title IX.
- @Moms4Liberty✓ verified“Throw out the case before hearing girls' challenge to gender policy”
