A pack of Biden-era Department of Education bigwigs covertly defied federal court orders, even after a colleague tried to blow the whistle — and are still on the job, even though the department has admitted the violations.
The story starts in 2021, with President Joe Biden’s executive order that banning “discrimination on the basis of gender identity and sexual orientation” across the entire federal government.
The folks at Education ran with that, sending out “guidelines” to state officials warning that “Title IX’s ban on sex discrimination” extends to “discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity” — refuse to go along, and your federal funding is at risk.
Yet Title IX says no such thing — “gender identity” was a fringe concept when Congress wrote that law in the ’70s.
And respecting “gender identity” claims threatens other Title IX guarantees: E.g., you’re not, in most Americans’ eyes, protecting women’s rights to privacy if biological males can use their bathrooms, locker rooms and so on.
Twenty states sued to block enforcement of Education’s diktats, and in 2022 won an injunction blocking the department from enforcing its mandates.
Yet Education’s Office for Civil Rights ignored that order, launching multiple investigations of “gender identity” grievances in the supposedly-protected states.
OCR worker Timothy Mattson tried to report this defiance in 2022 — triggering a coverup.

I thought the Department of Education would be closed down by now. I kept hearing Trump hired someone just to manage the shutting down process.

Why?
How is defying the law different from breaking the law?
Typical behavior of worthless government employee criminals. All should be arrested and convicted.
