Biden’s Legally Dubious School Bathroom Policy Misreads Supreme Court’s Bostock Decision

Published

on

After nearly four years of leftist governance, Americans know the Biden administration habitually plays fast and loose with the law. This habit has been especially egregious in education, where the administration hopes to parlay the 2020 Supreme Court case on employment discrimination, Bostock v. Clayton County, into authority for new federal regulations under Title IX, a law that prohibits sex discrimination in education. Not only are the new regulations legally dubious, but they also defy common sense as they would force girls to share school bathrooms, showers, and locker rooms with boys.  

Fortunately, the new regulations recently hit a major roadblock when federal courts in Louisiana, Kentucky, Kansas, and Texas issued preliminary injunctions against them, with additional injunctions in other courts likely to follow. These courts correctly rejected the Biden administration’s argument that Bostock creates some equivalence between hiring and firing employees and showering in high school locker rooms. 

On the day he was inaugurated, President Biden directed all federal agencies to revise their policies to reflect the reasoning of the Bostock decision. Bostock held that the prohibition on employment discrimination in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act because of an individual’s sex includes terminating an employee simply for being gay or transgender. The court concluded that under the statute’s text, “sex plays a necessary and undisguisable role” in such termination decisions.  

President Biden’s inaugural directive culminated in the issuance of the new regulations under Title IX. Litigation over the regulations centers principally on their redefinition of sex

Everything Kamala Harris Said About Abortion In Her DNC Speech Was A Lie

Published

on

In an attempt to cover up her own abortion extremism, Vice President Kamala Harris laced her Democratic National Convention speech with lies accusing former President Donald Trump and Republicans of being radicals whose views are out of line with most of the country.

Harris reaffirmed from the stage in Chicago on Thursday night that she believes anyone should be allowed to end their baby’s life through all nine months of pregnancy for any reason. Most Americans oppose Democrats’ unlimited abortion agenda, but that didn’t stop Harris from pretending Americans desire the death and danger that comes with her plan to pass legislation that would codify baby-killing until birth.

“And when Congress passes a bill to restore reproductive freedom, as President of the United States, I will proudly sign it into law,” Harris declared

Harris’ first lie was claiming that a national law greenlighting widespread abortion would “restore reproductive freedom” instead of accurately noting that it would subject thousands of babies and women, nearly 70 percent of whom felt their abortions were forced, unwanted, or contradicted their views, to harm.

Ever since the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson decision, Democrats have falsely claimed that doctors are no longer permitted to treat ectopic pregnancies or miscarriages. Harris specifically told her DNC audience on Thursday, however, that the lifesaving laws designed to protect thousands of innocents every year from elective abortions prevent women suffering from spontaneous pregnancy loss or complications from receiving the care they need.

CISA Censors Join Forces With Private Groups To Target So-Called Election ‘Misinformation’

Published

on

A federal agency with a record of online censorship is working with private groups to stop so-called “misinformation” ahead of November’s presidential election. 

The Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) – the federal government’s hub for online censorship — has been working with private groups since 2018 in an initiative dubbed the Election Infrastructure Subsector Coordinating Council (SCC), and boasts that its “collaboration” with “private sector partners is unprecedented.”

“CISA coordinates support for these election infrastructure partners across the federal government, with our state and local partners, and with the private sector to help them reduce cyber, physical, and operational security risks to election infrastructure,” a CISA representative said to The Federalist.

The SCC uses a “unified government and private sector approach,” working with a Government Coordinating Council (GCC) for “information-sharing and risk mitigation” before the election, according to a 2024 update on the councils’ work hosted by CISA online.

The document warns of “risks” from “false or misleading information about election administration.”

CISA noted so-called “misinformation campaigns” in 2022, and claimed they “exacerbated” a “threat environment for targeted violence.” A 2024 “Homeland Threat Assessment” by CISA’s parent agency warned that such unapproved speech would carry the “potential for violence or threats directed at government officials, voters, and elections-related personnel and infrastructure.”

The SCC and GCC have been telling “election stakeholders” to do things like create websites to “provide accurate information” and “dispel false information,” according to CISA’s 2024 update, which noted these efforts are “expected to

‘Zuckbucks’ Org Promotes $6 Million Election Grant From Left-Wing Dark Money Group

Published

on

The Center for Tech and Civic Life, which funneled millions in “Zuckbucks” to election officials in 2020, is promoting a $6 million election grant program from a left-wing dark money group with which it shares close ties.

“We wanted you to be aware that the Institute for Responsive Government (IRG) launched A More Responsive Government 2024 Grant Program, a new, nonpartisan $6 million grant program that aims to support local election offices,” said an Aug. 21 CTCL email obtained by The Federalist.

The email, apparently directed to election officials, noted the funding is “not a CTCL grant program.” CTCL funneled $328 million from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to public election agencies in 2020, using “Zuckbucks” to target areas with likely left-leaning voting blocs and boost Democratic turnout. 

“We are sharing this program information with you, as we commonly do with other nonpartisan resources and funding opportunities that can help you do your work,” the email said. 

The email bore CTCL’s logo, and that of a network the group launched in 2022 – the U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence. The alliance brings together key election influencers from 2020 to intervene in election administration. The Federalist reported earlier this year that the group “skirted” Arizona’s ban on private election funding.

CTCL referred recipients of its email to the grantor –the Institute for Responsive Government – for more information. 

The grants range from $6,000 to $1.35 million, depending on a jurisdiction’s number of voting-age citizens, according to IRG’s website. The money will potentially
