That guidance would have forced all preschools, K-12 schools, and colleges and universities that receive federal funding to accept and, in effect, preach the fiction that gender is merely a social construct, totally separable from biological sex.
Practically, schools receiving USDA money would have to open up all restrooms and locker rooms to any student who wanted to use them regardless of their biological sex. Girls who do not want to be in the presence of naked male genitalia while they change for PE or extracurricular sports would lose all privacy.
The guidance also would have forced teachers to use the preferred pronouns of students, also regardless of their biological sex. This would be compelled speech that violates the religious beliefs of those who believe, along with 99% of all sentient humans throughout history, that girls are born girls and boys are born boys.
Perhaps most alarmingly, the guidance would also have required that teachers not tell parents about their children’s gender identity or sexual orientation unless the child gave them their specific permission to do so. Again, this guidance applied to all preschools and K-12 schools. Parents have a right to know what their children are doing and saying in school.
Threatening to cut off federal lunch funding to schools that don’t enact the latest wish list from LGBTQ activists is an absurd result stemming from an absurd decision by Gorsuch. Luckily, Republican governors such as Florida’s Ron DeSantis and South Dakota’s Kristi Noem have pledged to do everything in their power to fight Biden’s USDA and Department of Education on transgender issues.

Let's see if I can get this comment to stay. This administration is corrupt and is continuously pushing their sick trans agenda on impressionable minds. How is this legal?
I could be much more supportive of all of this if the message was just to be nice to everyone, no matter what or who they are.

So, the Biden admin is playing hardball with school lunch money. Do what the LGBTQXXXX activist want or lose your .gov funding. I find this insane as this is promoting a state religion. If Gender is a social construct then it is not based on fact or reality but on Faith and human consensus. I love the statement of cold reality in this article.
