Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill announced that her office is suing the Biden administration over its effort to force widespread recognition and accommodation of LGBT ideology on public education, arguing the White House is actually facilitating “discrimination” rather than ending it.
In February, President Joe Biden’s U.S. Department of Education (DOE) submitted to the U.S. Office of Management & Budget its finalized Title IX rule. Late last month, the administration published the rule, which expands the federal government’s prohibition against “discrimination” to now include under its umbrella “discrimination based on sex stereotypes, sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex characteristics.” Critics have warned it has broad ramifications for sex-specific restrooms, lockers, and athletic programs, speech and conscience rights, and more.
On April 29, Murrill announced that her state is challenging the DOE on the rule in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana. The lawsuit is joined by Idaho, Mississippi, and Montana. LifeSiteNews previously reported that Florida is filing a separate lawsuit.
“The final regulations stand to harm students, parents, teachers, school districts, and states whose own constitutional rights are now in jeopardy, especially their right to Free Speech,” the AG’s office said. “If the school chooses not to comply, they risk losing essential Title IX funding while simultaneously facing lawsuits from the federal government and other proponents of these radical mandates. Yet this is also the outcome should the school fail to comply adequately, with standards remaining as vague as “gender identity” itself. In other words, Title IX funding is threatened whether you comply or not, creating an impossible situation for everyone involved.”
“This is all for a political agenda, ignoring significant safety concerns for young women students in preschools, elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, colleges and universities across Louisiana and the entire country,” Murrill said. “These schools now have to change the way they behave and the way they speak, and whether they can have private spaces for little girls or women. It is enormously invasive, and it is much more than a suggestion; it is a mandate that well exceeds their statutory authority. This all coming from the people who don’t even know how to define the word ‘woman.’ I’ll always stand up for children and families across this state.”
Notably, more than a dozen Louisiana school boards are joining Murrill’s lawsuit: Acadia Parish School Board, Allen Parish School Board, Bossier Parish School Board, Caddo Parish School Board, Caldwell Parish School Board, DeSoto Parish School Board, Franklin Parish School Board, Grant Parish School Board, Jefferson Davis Parish School Board, LaSalle Parish School Board, Natchitoches Parish School Board, Ouachita Parish School Board, Red River Parish School Board, Sabine Parish School Board, St. Tammany Parish School Board, Webster Parish School Board, and West Carroll Parish School Board.
In the meantime, state officials are directing education officials to disregard the new Title IX regulations. “Do not comply with these radical rules from the Biden administration,” Louisiana Education Secretary Cade Brumley said, NOLA reported.
The indoctrination of children with left-wing ideology on sexuality and other left-wing agenda items has long been a major concern in American public schools, from libraries to athletic and restroom policy to drag events to classroom materials to even socially “transitioning” troubled children without parental input. The influential American Library Association, currently helmed by a self-described “Marxist lesbian,” opposes denying children access to age-inappropriate materials.
Despite evidence that “affirming” gender confusion carries serious harms to impressionable young people, including from the Biden administration’s own Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration, Biden refuses to moderate his support for the LGBT movement, including reopening the military to recruits afflicted with gender dysphoria, promoting gender ideology within the military (including “diversity” and drag events on military bases), holding White House events to “affirm transgender kids,” condemning state laws against underage transitions as “close to sinful,” promoting underage transitions (potentially at taxpayer expense) as a “best practice,” and trying to force federally funded schools to let males into female athletic competitions and restrooms.

The Party Of ‘Death To America’! “The Democrat Party is built on hate.”
Mark Levin, author, talk show host and chairman of Landmark Legal Foundation, wrote a book last year about the party’s war on this nation’s values and foundations. Levin said it was important for him to write “The Democrat Party Hates America” because “the 800-pound gorilla that is responsible for virtually every single cultural, political, societal confrontation that we have is the Democrat Party.”
Why is this the case? “Because,” he says, “the Democrat Party is built on hate!”
The evidence is in schools that teach students that the U.S. is a murderous, racist nation built on stolen land and slave labor; in the media and entertainment realms, where “news” and show business productions are intended to turn Americans against the Western ideals of liberty and civil society; and of course in the politics of the Democratic “squad” that is made up of lawmakers hostile to the country yet has been allowed, in some cases encouraged, to aggregate more power in the party.
Even Elon Musk, who in the past voted “overwhelmingly” for Democrats, recognizes that they “have become the party of division and hate.”
What they want is a new America that is nothing like the country the founders gave us and would more closely resemble an authoritarian state ruled by, yes, the Neo-Nazi Left.

The Campus Kill-The-Jews Riots: Paid Professional Agitators Funded By Democratic Party Big Wigs, Or Well-Meaning Kids? Manhattan Contrarian ^ | 7 May, 2024 | Francis Menton

Several days ago, after the New York police broke up the kill-the-Jews occupations at Columbia, NYU and other universities, it emerged that close to half of the arrestees were not students or otherwise affiliated with the schools in question. At a news conference on April 30, Mayor Eric Adams adopted the term “professional outside agitators” to describe the main organizers of the protests (“What should have been a peaceful protest, it has basically been co-opted by professional outside agitators.”).

The Pedophile Admin
We have an entire Federal government that is uniformly neo-marxist/woke, and weaponized against at least half of the country. From the massive surveillance and intel state, to a corrupt prosecutorial DOJ, to leftist social-engineering departments of Education, agencies like EPA, etc...
How does one actually reform or change such a massive situation without collapsing government? Do you simply “vote harder?” Is it even possible?

"(New York) – Russia’s “gay propaganda” law is having a negative impact on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. The 2013 law exacerbated the hostility LGBT people in Russia have long suffered, and also stifled access to LGBT-inclusive education and support services, with harmful consequences for children."
You can also bet the US Government gives George Soros their blessings.

"Louisiana AG sues Biden’s Dept of Education over rule forcing radical LGBT dogma on public schools [??? emphasis added]"
Patriots are reminded that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the federal government the specific powers to either dictate, regulate, tax and spend in the name of INTRAstate schooling except for militia training, or to deal with sex-related protections outside the scope of voting rights, evidenced by the 19th Amendment.
"19th Amendment: The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]."
Prohibited federal powers to deal with schools are evidenced from the writings of President Thomas Jefferson, in a State of the Union address, also the writings of Justice Joseph story.
"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." (Jefferson is indicating that Congress cannot tax and spend in the name of intrastate infrastructure imo.)
"The power to regulate manufactures is no more confided to congress, than the power to interfere with the systems of education, the poor laws, or the road laws of the states [emphasis added]." —Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2, 1833.
In other words, the "federal" funding that the corrupt feds are threatening the loss of for public school non-compliance with desperate Democratic politically correct, vote-winning LGBT "rights" can be thought of state revenues (citizens' wallets) that the unconstitutionally big federal government steals from the people by abuse of repealable 16th Amendment powers (direct taxation).
"16th Amendment : The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived [emphasis added], without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
"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.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
Democrats [and RINOs] Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public (3.12.23)
Democratic and Republican Trump supporters desperately need to elect all new patriot state and federal government leaders in November who will not only support hopeful Trump 47 to quickly finish draining the swamp, but will actually do their sworn duty to respect and enforce the federal government's constitutionally limited powers.
Thank God people are finally standing up to this satanic attack on children.
