Manny Diaz, Florida’s commissioner of education, told Breitbart News on Sunday that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), as per the Biden administration’s political direction, is threatening to withhold funding from the Sunshine State and other states refusing to impose “transgender” ideology upon children in schools.
Diaz described the Parental Rights in Education Act, signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) into law in April, as a measure against Democrats’ and the broader left’s “radical left agenda” to “sexualize” children with “instruction at the earliest levels” of education.
“We’ve seen the latest attempt by the federal government — the Biden administration — attempting to impose their radical agenda here in Florida’s schools with the June 23rd USDA guidance that they issued, proposing changes to the regulations in Title IX, and adding ‘sexual orientation’ and ‘gender identity’ as protected classes under that – which [Title IX] was not designed for that,” Diaz explained on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Sunday with host Joel Pollak.
He remarked, “They’re basically trying to hold our most vulnerable kids hostage with the food program, to implement this radical agenda.”
The USDA, in accordance with the Biden administration’s ongoing rejection of human sexual dimorphism, issued what it described as a “guidance” to schools to end segregation of sexes in the contexts of bathrooms and locker rooms if “transgender children” claim to be the opposite sex.
Diaz noted that acquiescence to the USDA’s directive “would end up allowing biological males who identify as females to access female bathrooms and locker rooms, assign biological males who identify as female to female rooms on school trips. We’re not going to allow that in Florida. We’re going to protect our children.”

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.
We need to enforce the democrat population reduction holy trinity. Promote homosexuality to reduce odds of reproduction. Failing that, promote transexualism to chemically and physically destroy reproduction. Failing that promote vaccines to either destroy fertility or flat out shorten life spans by a few decades by ruining immune systems and trashing the heart muscle
I hope the feds withhold funding and then DeSantis withholds fed tax in Florida . Tit for Tat !

The official vehicle of the Democrat party.
We have no control over our schools until we learn to refuse federal money of any sort for the schools.
Yup...what you said.
Florida has no state tax. Florida should institute a voluntary state gift tax for education. Keep it under the limit and it is 100% deductible on the federal taxes. That way they could eliminate federal control over education.
These are the acts of a lawless tyrant.
