Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed an executive order last week defying new rule changes to Title IX being issued by Joe Biden’s Department of Education.

The rule change includes new protections for the few students who identify as “transgender,” but Sanders’ order instructs schools in her state to ignore those and uphold the rights and privacy concerns of the vast majority of students instead.

The Republican governor’s order reaffirms the state’s commitment to preserving the traditional understanding of sex as an “immutable characteristic of the human body” firmly “rooted in biology and the created order.”

“The government should celebrate, not erase, sex differences by providing proper protections for them,” the order says, as reported by The Epoch Times. It also states that the Biden administration “has rejected reality and chosen to appease their left-wing base over students’ safety and best interests.”
