Biden Admin’s Title IX Rewrite Obliterates Female Spaces, Free Speech, And Due Process

Published

on

The Biden administration’s Department of Education unveiled a sweeping set of rules on Friday that effectively erase protections for sex-based spaces by expanding the Title IX prohibition against sex discrimination to include “gender identity” — a term that’s never mentioned in the original law.

A majority of Americans agree that males who claim to identify otherwise should not be allowed to infiltrate girls’ and women’s sports teams. As of now, some 25 states have laws or regulations aimed at keeping boys and men out of female-only spaces, on and off the field.

Yet, come Aug. 1, the Democrat regime’s radial redefinition of “sex-based discrimination” poses a threat to sex-based protections and welcomes males into female spaces including athletic competitions, locker rooms, and sex-specific clubs such as sororities, despite state laws.

“The final regulations will help to ensure that all students receive appropriate support when they experience sex discrimination and that recipients’ procedures for investigating and resolving complaints of sex discrimination are fair to all involved,” the rules claim.

The regulations do even more damage, however, such as by undoing Trump-era due process safeguards for those accused of sexual misconduct, which could include merely using accurate pronouns. They also encroach on parents’ rights and threaten academic free speech by incentivizing schools to censor students and teachers with traditional views on sex and marriage so they don’t lose federal funding.

In the regulations, the Biden administration openly admits it relied on the Supreme Court’s Bostock v. Clayton County decision to inform its rulemaking.

Kristen Clarke Allegedly Knifed Her Ex And Lied About It — But It’s Not The Worst Thing She’s Done

Published

on

According to The Daily Signal, there is a strong indication that Kristen Clarke, who now leads the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, lied during her confirmation process in 2021. In written questions, Sen. Tom Cotton had asked Clarke: “Since becoming a legal adult, have you ever been arrested for or accused of committing a violent crime against any person.” Her answer was “No.”

Clarke, who was arrested in July 2006, allegedly attacked her husband with a knife, “deeply slicing his finger to the bone.” Her pedantic argument is that her record was expunged. But the incident meets all the criteria of being “accused” of a “violent crime.”

Listen, we have no clue how the knife incident went down. It’s a personal matter. Clarke says it happened after years of domestic abuse. Maybe her then-husband had it coming. Maybe not. She still lied to the Senate. And it’s not the only thing she lied about.

Clarke, recall, was ahead of the curve in spreading the racist pseudoscientific quackery that has popularized on modern campuses. As president of the Black Student Association at Harvard in the 1990s, she authored a wild letter to the Crimson, arguing that the structure of the black person’s brain made them superior to other races. Chemicals in the brain, Clarke went on, imbued the black race with “superior physical and mental abilities” and “spiritual abilities,” and “[m]elanin endows Blacks with greater mental, physical and spiritual abilities — something which cannot be measured based on Eurocentric standards.” 

For context, Farrakhanites were gaining entry

5 Takeaways From Peter Daszak’s Testimony On U.S.-Funded Coronavirus Research

Published

on

EcoHealth Alliance President Peter Daszak testified before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic on Wednesday about his organization’s role in conducting gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in the years leading up to the 2020 Covid outbreak.

Daszak’s testimony came hours after the GOP members of the subcommittee released a damning report highlighting alleged wrongdoing by EcoHealth throughout its coronavirus research, several details of which conflict with Daszak’s statements from a closed-door interview with House members in November. The report recommended the NIH and Department of Health and Human Services “immediately commence suspension and debarment proceedings against both EcoHealth and Dr. Daszak” and the Justice Department to “evaluate if Dr. Daszak violated any federal laws.”

“These revelations undermine your credibility as well as every factual assertion you made during your transcribed interview,” the committee chairs wrote ahead of Wednesday’s hearing. “The Committees have a right and an obligation to protect the integrity of their investigations, including the accuracy of testimony during a transcribed interview.”

As Helen Raleigh previously reported at The Federalist, EcoHealth Alliance is a nongovernmental organization that from 2014-2020, sent “more than half a million dollars’ worth of U.S. government grants, including those from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) with Anthony Fauci’s approval, to the Wuhan Institute of Virology to conduct gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses.” While the Trump administration axed government funds for EcoHealth Alliance in 2020, the group has received federal grants since Joe Biden was sworn into office.

Do Women’s Rights Matter? Democrats Can’t Decide

Published

on

There is nothing that should infuriate women more right now than President Joe Biden’s decision, in coordination with Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona, to revise Title IX rules to “extend legal protections to LGBTQ students.” Yet many women don’t seem to be chafed at all. The news seems to have gotten lost in the cacophony of defense bills, spoiled college students, and, of course, Donald Trump.

The new regulations, as announced by the Department of Education the other week without any congressional approval, extend the law’s reach to prohibit discrimination and harassment based on sexual orientation and gender identity, rather than sex alone. This means it allows men who believe themselves to be women, despite having all their male sexual organs intact, to enter women-only spaces like locker rooms in educational institutions from elementary through collegiate level. I don’t think I need to expand on the sheer absurdity of that, or the all too real threat of danger to women, particularly young girls.

Say what they will, but women — even the strongest of us — can be easily dominated by a man. But then again, the left can’t define a woman, so that fact slides through their illogical arguments like a man wearing a skirt into a women’s restroom.

The left’s constant cries about women’s rights seem utterly incompatible with this defilement of the truth. You don’t get to cry bloody murder (unless, of course, it’s in support of abortion) about protecting women’s access to so-called health care based
