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.

Andrew Wilkow dedicated a large portion of his show to this Biden story. It was pretty funny listening to him imitate Biden’s working class dad use 2020 woke-lib speak to speak to his young son Joey in 1962 Philly...
Good reason to dumb Fed funding. Years ago (centuries, actually) when I debated in High School, the topic was Federal Funding for Schools. The negative side of the debate centered primarily on the claim that once the feds got their little smelly Obamaholes in the school, they’d rule.
Turns out the negative was correct. Look at the conditions of our ‘publik skoolz’. Sleazy curricula, even sleazier ‘eddikators’ - aided by the world’s most inept and corrupt eddikashun unions.
Of course, we couldn’t have independent schools, could we? Can’t have smart children running around who could easily out think and out debate our media and congresscritter clowns.
“...This IS Rome at the end.
Men saying they are women.
All kinds of deviant behavior going on.
And the close to 80 million of us who should have rose up in revolution did not...”
I finally got off the keyboard long enough to go to Washington on January 6th to try to DO SOMETHING. But of course the media spins every event the Left’s way. The story should have been about the hundreds of thousands of Americans in Washington who were livid about the fraudulent vote count. It should have been about the brazen murder of Ashli Babbitt by arrogant and comfortable Capitol security. Instead all we hear about is violent riotous Trump supporters.
We need to rise up and man the barricades with demands for only in-person voting, papers ballots, and other voting security measures. We need to demand an election re-do in November. We need to demand a secure border and a moratorium on immigration and amnesty. But it would take 8000 armed and dedicated militia to hold key positions in an inner city for ten weeks. We don’t have those ready to go. Few groups could field 50 for such a duration.
The science is settled. A penis in a dress is not dangerous.
Schools flourished before Fed money......................
Hope the leftard female athletes get cheated out of awards because the transgender males beat them out. They can take comfort in that the Orange boogie man has been vanquished. Enjoy the new suckaroos era.
To some degree but most Christian schools and homeschool groups create their own conferences and compete within them. They usually have their own state tournaments and championships.
Does this mean Bruce Jenner could now compete in the Women’s Decathlon?
Honestly most voted for Biden. Payback will be fun to watch. Sorry when you vote for your own destruction, it’s hard to show pity.
If I were running a school, I would cancel every sporting event regardless I popularity. The only thing that will work is actually scorched earth policy.
Yes they will but so shall we. Our society is jumping off the cliff .
At his age?????...............................probably....................
What about biological males who “self-identify” as female Congressonal staffers and want to use those locker rooms & showers?
Any college that officially fielded a men's sports team that was then beaten by a women's team would never, ever be forgotten.
Doubt it. I mean the keystone pipeline has been the slowest built item ever. That should have been done by now. Most of the junk Biden is doing won’t directly effect most people.....yet anyway.
Much like the decline of Vaudeville, it's only option was to become more ridiculous and shocking in an attempt to grab attention from a declining audience.
Let's see U.S.A women's soccer league complain about equal pay now that their ranks will be filled with trannies who can outplay the lesbians.
Wow, Slow Joe’s Doctor wife couldn’t explain the difference to him .... never mind, Doctor Jill isn’t a real doctor, just one of those know nothing doctors.
Women who don’t like the fake women being allowed into women’s shelters already get criticized. It’s insane.
Furthermore, why aren’t more women angry about things like Drag Queen story hour? Why don’t women shun the grotesque parody of women?
Women need to stand up for the authenticity of their sex and for their private spaces like bathrooms and shelters.
