"Death to America!"

The U.S. Department of Education published Friday a list of faith-based colleges and universities that requested and were granted a religious exemption from Title IX. LGBT activist groups have been calling on the government to publish the list as part of a shaming campaign called the "Shame List" to pressure Christian colleges to consent to their agenda.
The document reveals that an increasing number of colleges are seeking exemptions, and that evangelical Wheaton College is not on the list.
As of April 1, as many as 232 colleges have obtained exemption from Title IX while 31 requests are pending, according to the list posted on the department's website on Friday.

This is the list of colleges that Christians should support with their attendance and their financial support. Christian parents will find this very helpful.
Shame? I don’t think the fetish mongers understand the meaning of the word.
It’s long past time for a small and arguably mentally ill minority to tyrannize the rest of us. The backlash, once it starts, will take on life of its own.
These clowns are overreaching...
Is “shaming” another word for “blackmail??”
My iPad can’t seem to open the link properly. Is the list published at the link or should I look elsewhere?
Where are these LGBT people from? Salem, Mass?

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
There are several constitutional problems with the unconstitutonal Education Dept.’s actions. Please bear with the following explanation.
To begin with, it doesn’t matter if a college is faith-based or secular. This is because the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for INTRAstate schooling purposes.
For example, Thomas Jefferson had indicated that the states would need to amend the Constituton to give the feds the express power to tax and spend for intrastate schooling purposes, something the states have never done.
“The great mass of the articles on which impost is paid is foreign luxuries, purchased by those only who are rich enough to afford themselves the use of them. Their patriotism would certainly prefer its continuance and application to the great purposes of the public education, roads, rivers, canals, and such other objects of public improvement as it may be thought proper to add to the constitutional enumeration of federal powers [emphasis added].” —Thomas Jefferson: 6th Annual Message, 1806.
In fact, note that a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that Congress is prohibited from appropriating taxes in the name of state power issues, basically any issue that Congress cannot justify under its constitutinal Article I, Section 8-limited powers, appropriating taxes for intrastate schools not listed under those powers as Jefferson had indirectly indicated.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Next, regarding the sexual discrimination aspect of Title IX, the only sex-related amendment that the states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect deals with voting rights as evidenced by the 19th Amendment. So the misguided, low-information, pro-LGBT, non-elected bureaucrats who are running Education Dept.are wrongly sticking their big noses into a sex-related issue that is clearly outside the scope of voting rights, the corrupt feds actually having no jurisdiction imo.
In fact, it can be argued that by unconstitutionally promoting the constitutionally unprotected LGBT agenda that the Education Dept. is esssentially unthinkingly establishing a protected / privileged class which the states have constitutionally prohibited as evidenced by the following constitutional clause.
Article I, Section 9, Clause 8: No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States [emphasis added]: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.
Finally, consider that the Education Dept. is not the real problem with this issue. This is because all roads of corruption in DC lead to Congress imo.
More specifically, corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification lawmakers are wrongly letting federal officials outside the legislative branch get away with stealing legislative branch powers, both state and federal, so that they can do all the dirtly, unpopular legislative work that Congress probably wants to do. Lawmakers are iikely letting non-elected bureauctats and elite officals get away with exercising legislative powers so that lawmakers can keep their voting records clean. And by keeping their voting records clean, lawmakers can fool low-information patriots into reelecting them.
Remember in November !
When patriots elect Trump, Cruz, or whatever conservative they elect, they need to also elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support the new president, but also protect the states from unconstitutional federal government overreach, putting a stop to unconstitutional federal interference in intrastate schools for example.
Also, consider that such a Congress would probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
Title IX states: "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance."
In 2014, the Obama administration interpreted Title IX as including transgender discrimination in illegal sex discrimination.
"Sex" as listed in Title IX is a biological term. ALL institutions should challenge the Obama junta from reinterpreting it to mean anything else. If you want it to cover sexual orientation or "gender" then PASS A LAW! And while you are at it please quote the revenant section of the Constitution that authorizes the Congress to pass such a law in the first place.
The Department of “Education” has nothing to do with education. It’s just another government liberal jobs program like the Job Corps or Americorps.

I notice that according to current fashion, "shaming" is bad--unless the target is acceptable.
Heres the mobile link. Maybe this will work
How will we know them if the backlash starts, if there is no official record of their individual tyranny?
Thanks, lowbridge. Worked great.
It is worse than a jobs program. It has become yet another political enforcement entity.
Unfortunately my old school, Presbyterian affiliated, Arkansas College now rebranded as Lyon College is not on the list. That is sad because when I was there it was a fairly strict religious school with required daily Chappel and Bible courses to graduate.
Just some more of the ‘Great Falling Away’.
