More than 20 Republican attorneys general have filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration over the Department of Agriculture’s threat to withdraw funding from school meal assistance programs unless the schools submit to the regime’s “expansive and unlawful interpretation of federal antidiscrimination laws.”
The lawsuit, led by Tennessee Attorney General Herbert Slatery, was filed on Tuesday. The coalition of 22 State AGs claim that the federal government has adopted “a new and unlawful application of the Supreme Court’s decision in Bostock v. Clayton County as it applies to antidiscrimination requirements.”
In a statement Tuesday, Slatery said, “these transformative changes were made without providing the States and other stakeholders the opportunity for input as required by the Administrative Procedures Act (APA).”
The coalition of attorneys general said in a letter to Biden last month, that a new USDA guidance greatly expanded the concept of “discrimination on the basis of sex” to include gender identity and sexual orientation, and did “much more than offer direction.”
“It imposes new—and unlawful—regulatory measures on state agencies and operators receiving federal financial assistance from the USDA,” the letter stated. “And the inevitable result is regulatory chaos that would threaten the effective provision of essential nutritional services to some of our most vulnerable citizens.”
The AGs allege in the lawsuit that the Biden administration “inappropriately expanded the law far beyond what statutory text, regulatory requirements, judicial precedent, and the U.S. Constitution permit.”
To be clear, the States do not deny benefits based on a household member’s sexual orientation or gender identity. But the States do challenge the unlawful and unnecessary new obligations and liabilities that the Memoranda and Final Rule attempt to impose—obligations that apparently stretch as far as ending sex-separated living facilities and athletics and mandating the use of biologically inaccurate preferred pronouns.

Note to states: Maybe if you weren’t paying through the nose for teacher pensions and cadillac health bennies, you wouldn’t have to sell your souls to Deep State.
Why do local schools need food from the fedgov? Disgusting sellouts.
Oh puleeze!
You cannot be serious!
How about red states start withholding federal taxes if the illegitimate Dementia Joe regime starts illegally withholding school funds on nonsensical LGBT nonsense?
Here is a perfect example of taking the wrong lesson from a painful mistake.
The mistake is that the states ever decided to take Federal Revenue Sharing in the first place. Federal funds always come a ‘Catch’.
The Wrong Lesson is that you can Fight a Battle with the federal monster.
The correct approach is to stop taking the federal money and reclaim Federalism. Reclaim your freedom.
And Incase anyone is wondering where Federal Revenue Sharing came from; blame a Republican, Richard Nixon.
Like so much that is wrong with our nation today, it comes from California.
Now guess who stated the following.... Our children. Our children. Our children. Their health, their education, the housing and economic security of their families, a clean safe environment in which they can thrive, and a world of peace and where they are all welcome in which they can reach their fulfillment........... Educating the next generation to succeed in safe schools with 21st century skills.

Why should only far left deep blue states get federal funds while red states are denied?
They all pat federal taxes, o?
Republicans with backbones? We ARE living in Upside Down World these days! ;)
Glad to see it. Fight the Commies with lawsuits at every opportunity!
Also, private or home school if you can.
The cancer of accepting the unearned. The fed sugar daddy doesn’t want you on your knees, they want the kids on them. Literally
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

“Our children are so welcome”, Pelosi kept shoving the little daughter of a newly elected Latino Republican House Representative.
That’s the funny thing about bribery, it feel’s pretty good, until it’s time to pay-up..
Its LGBTQ and P for PEDOPHILES!
Mutants are running the federal government
Fine. Let the minorities that have swallowed free breakfast and lunch suffer. Under the constitution, there are no requirements for any government interaction in education.
The fed gov doesn’t provide the food. The states do through funding. This is how communists do things. Submit or die.
You cannot deny funding to red states based on nonsensical LGBQ garbage, when red states pay federal taxes same as blue states.
When they came out of the closet they said all we want is to be left alone to practice our chosen life style. Now they want to rule the county and have unlimited access to pervert it’s children.
