The following are excerpts from a Fox News article:
The Biden administration is using lunch money to hold ‘school districts hostage,’ the head of a conservative advocacy group said in response to the Department of Agriculture’s announcement that it would require certain schools to allow trans students to use the bathroom of their preferred gender.
Schools awarded money from the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), an agency within USDA, must specify in their policies that discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation is prohibited, the department announced in May. It also said allegations of such discrimination must be investigated.
What you’re seeing here is really the Biden administration saying ‘you’re going to do what I want or I’m going to take your lunch money,’ For the federal government to come in and really tie school nutrition and school lunch programs to this radical ideology is terrifying, and it’s appalling.
Fight for Schools Executive Director Ian Prior told Fox News.
FNS administers several nutrition-related programs, including WIC and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). It also runs the National School Lunch Program, which provides free or low-cost lunches for children and on average fed nearly 30 million kids per day prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The announcement “essentially amounts to the Biden administration holding states and local school districts hostage with school lunch money that goes to underprivileged youth in order to pass transgender non-discrimination policies,” Prior told Fox News.
The USDA said its announcement is part of President Biden’s executive order extending Title IX to include discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
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 order states
Prior told Fox News:
I honestly have no idea how providing food to children in schools is somehow connected to transgender policies. What we see here is the Biden administration using children as pawns in this social justice, gender ideology game that they are playing.
They discuss equity nonstop in the Biden administration. But in reality, if you want to talk about equity or equal opportunity, the best way to do that is to make sure that every child has the opportunity to succeed.
One way to do that is to make sure that they are properly fed.
It is clear what they are trying to do here, which is a federal takeover of school systems throughout the country based on this radical gender ideology.
I think what the Biden administration is doing here is going to be subject to significant legal challenges. They are going to find themselves in litigation over these issues for years, perhaps until the end of Biden’s term.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.
Proverbs 29:16
The abominable schools are only going to get worse and worse; and as I constantly say, and is the only just and equitable solutions, is parents must remove their kids from these places and educate them themselves, or a find a trusted private educator/tutor to teach the children.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
