LGBT Activists Tell Biden: Religious Schools Must Accept ‘Gender Identity’
The National Catholic Register ^ | 12/15/20 | CNA

For years, legal experts have been discussing possible battles over access to federal benefits and accreditation of religious schools, based on their acceptance of ideas such as same-sex marriage and accommodation of persons identifying as LGBT.

WASHINGTON — A leading LGBT activist group is calling for the Biden administration to tighten accreditation regulations of religious schools to enforce acceptance of so-called transgender rights.

The pro-LGBT Human Rights Campaign (HRC) issued its list of policy priorities for the incoming Biden administration, The Daily Signal reported on Monday

Among its priorities, the group’s Blueprint for Positive Change 2020 calls for the Education Department to update its regulations on school accreditation— including requiring religious schools to accommodate students based on their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Currently, HRC says, religious schools that “discriminate or that do not meet science based curricula standards” could be approved by accreditation agencies, which could simply be following their mandate to “respect the stated mission” of religious schools.

Instead, HRC wants a new regulation from the Education Department to change that.

New language could specify that agencies do not have to accredit schools “that do not meet neutral accreditation standards including nondiscrimination policies and scientific curriculum requirements,” the group’s blueprint says.

For years, legal experts have been discussing possible battles over access to federal benefits and accreditation of religious schools, based on their acceptance of ideas such as same-sex marriage and accommodation of persons identifying as LGBT.

During 2015 oral arguments in the Supreme Court’s Obergefell case, the landmark ruling that legalized same-sex marriage, the Obama administration’s solicitor general suggested that religious schools opposed to the redefinition of marriage could lose their tax-exempt status if the Court defined same-sex marriage as a right.

And LGBT brainwashing seminars MUST accept and teach Christianity.

See how that works?

A former friend of mines wife is a government school teacher.

She doesn’t believe parents should be allowed to have any input into their children’s education at all, other than tax dollars, and the more tax dollars the better.

China, Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, North Korea and just about every other Communist/Socialist dictatorship and Islamic state prohibit this stuff. And for good reason.

I think they already do. It's pretty simple actually. Just look between the legs. Either it's a boy or a girl. That simple.

> Start with Islamic schools <

If this goes through, Islamic schools will be on the list. But there will be no enforcement when it comes to them. No enforcement as in none, zero, nada.

Oh, and good luck to the gay Muslim student who tries to assert his/her “gender identity”. Such a person would quickly experience an Islamic honor killing.

When Harris takes over this will happen;
Democratic candidate for America’s Vice President California and likely presidential replacement Sen. Kamala Harris sponsored a Senate bill that would that would force funding public schools to allow biologically male athletes who identify as transgender on girls’ sports teams.

IN THE RACE FOR HOUSE SEATS EVERYONE RUNNING UNDER THE DEMON-O-CRAT LABEL VOTED FOR THESE TWO ISSUES
ABORTION FUNDING SUPPORT AND THIS

FORCE Schools To Let Male Athletes Compete In Girls’ Sports...Any Dem congressman who didn’t support this got kicked out by holding their primary in remapped districts.

That’s what has worried me especially since 2012

How long will God stay still and not act in fury?

God may not need to act in fury. He may only have to not be there to catch us when we fall.
