Last week, the Biden administration issued new rules for transgender students under the rubric of Title IX. The rules would block any effort for schools to require students to use the bathroom associated with their birth gender.
The new rule makes it “crystal clear that everyone can access schools that are safe, welcoming and that respect their rights,” Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said.
“No one should face bullying or discrimination just because of who they are, who they love,” Cardona told reporters on April 19. “Sadly, this happens all too often.”
That’s true. No one should be bullied or discriminated against. And no one should expect school authorities to accept the idea that anyone can choose their own gender.
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) made that clear to Biden.
“We are not gonna let Joe Biden try to inject men into women’s activities,” DeSantis said Thursday on X. “We are not gonna let Joe Biden undermine the rights of parents. And we are not gonna let Joe Biden abuse his constitutional authority to try to impose these policies on us here in Florida.”
