Missouri AG Weighs In on College of the Ozarks 'Gender Identity' Dorm Lawsuit

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is joining College of the Ozark's (MO) fight against President Joe Biden over a ban on housing discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. In a Tuesday announcement, Bailey said his office has led a coalition of 19 states to file an amicus brief in the U.S. Supreme County in support of the private, faith-based college's lawsuit. The U.S. Court of Appeals rejected the federal lawsuit in late 2022, saying the college lacked standing or jurisdiction to establish a case. The suit was originally filed in April 2021. Last month, the college asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review the decision. The campus in Point Lookout is represented in the matter by the Alliance for Defending Freedom or ADF.
