New Biden Education Rules Prohibit Blanket Bans On Males In Girls Sports | Eastern North Carolina Now

    The Biden administration proposed new regulations on Thursday that would prohibit schools enforcing blanket bans on trans-identifying males in girls sports.

    The education department's Title IX rules state that schools that receive federal funding may not ban biological males in girls sports wholesale, but they may exclude them on a case by case basis.

    "The proposed rule ... recognizes that in some instances, particularly in competitive high school and college athletic environments, some schools may adopt policies that limit transgender students' participation," the education department said.

    However, the proposal would give schools "the flexibility to develop their own participation policies," the department added.

    "Sex-related criteria" at schools that would limit or ban a trans-identified student from playing on the team of their preferred gender must meet two standards. First, the criteria must be related to an "important educational objective," and second, the criteria must also "minimize harms" to the trans-identified student.

    Preventing sports-related injuries would be an example of an "important educational objective" the department noted.

    High school girls have been injured playing with trans-identifying males. Last year in North Carolina, a female high school volleyball player suffered severe trauma to her head and neck after a trans-identifying player spiked a volleyball at her head.

    Another example of an "important educational objective" would be "fairness in competition."

    "Fairness in competition may be particularly important for recipients in some sports, grade and education levels, and levels of competition," the department said.

    Female athletes at high schools and colleges in several states have spoken out against being forced to compete against biological males.

    In Connecticut, several high school girls filed Title IX claims in a federal lawsuit in 2020, arguing that competing against trans-identifying males made them miss their chances at championship titles, state records, and scholarship opportunities.

    Parental rights advocates slammed the proposed regulations as too vague, saying the rules will scare off schools from trying to enforce any limits on males in girls sports.

    "The Biden Administration is trying to have their cake and eat it too: inject gender identity into athletics while placing the onus upon school districts to determine whether doing so would be problematic or not," said Nicole Neily, president and founder of Parents Defending Education.

    "Without a doubt, institutions are going to err on the side of 'inclusion,' because they fear the wrath of the Education Department - thus, achieving the Department's end goal while allowing them to maintain plausible deniability that they coerced districts into doing so," Neily said.

    Erika Sanzi, the group's director of outreach, called the administration a "gender czar," saying they are "putting school districts in an impossible position."

    Transgender activists, meanwhile, reacted with concern that the rule gives too much leeway to schools that are looking to ban trans-identifying males from competing with girls.

    The proposal will now be subject to public comment, during which it is almost guaranteed to face challenges from critics.

    If approved, the rules would apply to all public K-12 schools, as well as colleges and universities that receive federal funding.

It has been far too many years since the Woke theology interlaced its canons within the fabric of the Indoctrination Realm, so it is nigh time to ask: Does this Representative Republic continue, as a functioning society of a self-governed people, by contending with the unusual, self absorbed dictates of the Woke, and their vast array of Victimhood scenarios?
  Yes, the Religion of Woke must continue; there are so many groups of underprivileged, underserved, a direct result of unrelenting Inequity; they deserve everything.
  No; the Woke fools must be toppled from their self-anointed pedestal; a functioning society of a good Constitutional people cannot withstand this level of "existential" favoritism as it exists now.
  I just observe; with this thoughtful observation: What will happen "when the Vikings are breeching our walls;" how do the Woke react?

Exactly John Steed and Biden is an incredible corrupt idiot not to understand this salient truth.

If Beaufort County Schools ever fell prey to letting a boy play girl sports, I would vote to suspend all County Funding, and would strenuously advocate the other commissioners do the same. Some nonsense, I will NOT tolerate.

Congress passed Title IX half a century ago to protect and promote women's sports. Now Biden, through an administrative rule is trying to stand it on its head to destroy womens sports. Biological males have a stronger body structure which gives them an unfair advantage and allowing them to compete against real women or girls is just cheating. There is no other word for it.

Using executive power to grossly distort a law passed by Congress like this is not likely to stand. Twenty states so far have passed laws to prohibit this cheating of biological men pretending to be women so they can dominate womens sports, and more are likely to follow. I am sure these states will be suing the Biden regime to eliminate Biden's action.

Biden is engaged in a War on Women's Sports, which is, in effect a War on Women.

It is issues like this that reveal Non Patriot Joe to be the premier idiot that all individuals of any real intellect realize. Real intellect being that which people have that know how to do stuff.

Joe Biden is a fool; his puppeteer staff, by the extension of Lying Joe's incredible ignorance, are manipulative fools, public paid.

The simple self-governing truth is that any state that wishes to overrule Idiot Joe's executive decree can do so, and any punishment handed down by "The Big Guy's" corrupt administration will be met by real state's AGs, who understand the 10th amendment, and that this Non Patriot Administration does not.
