The Biden administration is requiring schools to comply with its LGBT policies or lose billions in federal funding for school lunches.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service announced in May it will prevent low-income students from participating in its National School Lunch Program if their public school does not adopt the administration's interpretation of Title IX, which holds that the federal civil rights law's provision against discrimination based on sex includes designations of sexual orientation and gender identity. The move was originally reported by The Center Square.
Critics of the administration's decision said it could unnecessarily harm disadvantaged students. Christian K-12 schools that participate in the NSLP can apply for a religious exemption, but public and nonreligious private schools must follow the new rules or lose their funding.
"All people should be treated with dignity and respect, but it's wrong for the federal government to take away free meals from economically disadvantaged students if their schools do not embrace radical gender ideology," Greg Baylor, a senior counsel at the Alliance Defending Freedom, told the Washington Free Beacon.
The announcement builds on President Joe Biden's Day One Executive Order on Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation, which permits transgender students to use male or female bathrooms and play sports with either sex. Biden's executive order drew on the Supreme Court's ruling in Bostock v. Clayton County, which altered the meaning of "sex" in Title VII to include sexual orientation and gender identity.

It’s a little trick Biden learned from Stalin - starve them into compliance.
50 years ago homosexual sex was illegal.
Today our federal government is making it a State Religion!
America needs to collapse.
He’s also going to use the Federal funding stick to require teaching of Critical Race Theory in all k-12 schools.
Not the first time this is posted.
But it should be noted that many private, Christian schools receive funding for milk and school lunches...so this may well impact you even if you don’t have your kids in public school.
See the problem with the Feds usurping the power of the states. Schools have ALWAYS been under the powers of the states.
This is exactly why we Americans opposed the federal US Department of Education: Central liberal control. We knew it would happen but so many liberals in the education system loved the idea.
I have thought the same for years.
“starve them into compliance”
That must be the “unity” and “bipartisan spirit” we hear so much about....
:-(
“No Free Lunch: Biden Admin Will Pull Meal Funding for Schools That Don’t Comply With Its LGBT Agenda”
Should be a WIN-WIN for the schools. For getting out of the Grooming business, they also can get rid of Michelle’s horrific school meals and replace them with food that the kids will actually eat.
But, of course, our ‘wonderful’ public schools won’t see it that way.
is he paying by fingerprint???
Make the parents pay for the lunches and milk, no exceptions.
From Wiki - this is Brandon’s historical predecessor in history:
There are few surviving sources about the reign of Caligula, though he is described as a noble and moderate emperor during the first six months of his rule. After this, the sources focus upon his cruelty, sadism, extravagance, and sexual perversion, presenting him as an insane tyrant. While the reliability of these sources is questionable, it is known that during his brief reign, Caligula worked to increase the unconstrained personal power of the emperor, as opposed to countervailing powers within the principate. He directed much of his attention to ambitious construction projects and luxurious dwellings for himself, and he initiated the construction of two aqueducts in Rome: the Aqua Claudia and the Anio Novus. During his reign, the empire annexed the client kingdom of Mauretania as a province....
Just shows how sick this administration is - dastardly governance!
I just wish Republicans were more aggressive using government funding to shape policy. Did they threaten funding if schools didn’t pull CRT and radical climate changes courses??? NO
So joe wants to starve poor kids. Not exactly a surprise.
But didn’t Trump want to withhold funds from schools that didn’t want to stay open during the plandemic and was told he couldn’t do that without congressional approval.
