President Joe Biden issued an executive order on his first day in office, mandating that any schools that receive federal funding must function as if biological males who claim to be females are the same, and vice versa, or risk losing that funding. This pro-transgender policy extends to male athletes who claim their gender identity as a female should allow them to compete on women’s teams, receive women’s scholarships, and be admitted in women’s locker rooms.
“Children should be able to learn without worrying about whether they will be denied access to the restroom, the locker room, or school sports,” the executive order reads, promising that the Biden administration is committed to “prevent and combat discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation.”
Biden previously promised to pioneer a radical transgender agenda, telling the mother of an 8-year-old, gender-confused child at a town hall that he would “flat-out change the law” and eliminate former President Donald Trump’s executive orders concerning sex and gender identity. His pledge received support and encouragement from now-Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
“Joe Biden said that on his first day of office, he will give transgender students access to sports, bathrooms, and locker rooms in accordance with their gender identity in all federally funded schools. Do you think he has the ability to do this, and do you agree with his decision?” a reporter asked Schumer.
“I agree with the decision, and I know he’ll check things out thoroughly, legally,” Schumer said.
During his campaign, Biden also vowed to use the Department of Education to investigate and address any violations of transgender students’ civil rights, including removing federal school funding or risking legal action. His new executive order also mandates that every agency must act to ensure the enforcement of this new rule within 100 days of Jan. 20.
Under Trump, the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights found that a Connecticut policy that allowed biologically male student-athletes who identify as female to participate in female sports violated Title IX. Democrat Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii introduced legislation in the House in December that prevents biological men from participating in female sports.

that only works if we are willing to use them....... can I have a show of hands?
This is sheer insanity.
Joseph Biden is insane.
To that point, I have been watching Carol Burnett Show reruns all week.
I haven’t laughed so much in ages!
Great analogy!
As for any Leftist's comments, simply ask them why they don't date trannies.
I am not watching the celebratory news media gushing over their Commie victory.
Is someone here making lists of the Biden actions and orders?
I hate to look at sites I don’t like to find out the bad news. Heard the wall was going to be destroyed and hordes of illegals already were told “c’mon in, world, the entitlements are fine.”
How will Biden voters like $10 a gallon gasoline?
These people really are messed up in the head. There is no honor or glory using a man’s body to defeat women in sports competition no matter who or what the man may think he is. They should be ashamed.
They’ll just blame Trump for everything, unto perpetuity.
Is this even legal? Sounds like blackmail 1st of all and 2nd I thought congress made decisions on budgets and where the money goes.
Perversity, thy Name is Biden.
The main reason schools exist is sporting events. Most single parent families don’t care about academics
No. They won’t care till their various social groups care.
They will exclude the mothers who complain about their daughters being assaulted, and then brag ro their wine and THC groups about how inclusive they are.
It gets worse with every new EO.
Well with the new server service, they will be left alone at last, Parler.
That is proven science for anyone with a brain
"Follow the science" has turned into manipulated BS.
Legally, I don't see how a women's sports team in a government-run school is any different than a segregated school from the Jim Crow days.
Agree. Agree. And then some.
Johnny Carson is on Pluto.
That’s my escape.
Gonna do Carol next
I agree to a point
We should use the left’s play book and beat them at their own game
And ridicule them in the process, they hate that, really really hate that
Joe Biden and his cronies are evil - there is not one aspect of goodness in any of them. I pray God strikes them down soon.
