#Republicans are fighting to be able to #discriminate against #LGBTQstudents in colleges and #university. Think about that. These people are spending valuable time, and #taxpayer money to establish and preserve their ability to discriminate against, and make the #college experience of #LGBTQ students a living hell. And our ethically compromised #SupremeCourt is happy to help them achieve their goal. Remember this in November.

US Supreme Court won't allow LGBT student protection in certain states

Federal judge blocks Biden administration’s Title IX guidelines to protect LGBTQ+ students

In his ruling Tuesday, Judge Reed O'Connor said the Biden administration lacked the authority to make the changes and accused it of pushing “an agenda wholly divorced from the text, structure, and contemporary context of Title IX.” Title IX is the 1972 law that prohibits discrimination based on sex in educational settings.
