Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti and Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman today urged a federal judge in Kentucky to block the Department of Education’s new Title IX rule from taking effect on Aug. 1. The pair, supported by four other state attorneys general, argued the rule would harm Tennessee students, families and schools and asked the judge to issue a temporary injunction. The same group sued in April over the new rule. Of the 26 states that have sued in other venues, this is the first case to be heard in federal court.
