U.S.D.A. withholds food for poor kids if school does not allows boys to compete in girls sports

If your local elementary school does not allow boys to compete in girls sporting events then the Biden Administration's executive order will allow the USDA to withhold food payments to the school. S.Dakota Governor Kristi Noem plans to fight the federal government, USDA and Biden Administration in court.

Not sure how the government thinks it has the authority to deprive a poor child of food over a dispute over gender dysphoria.

Somehow I think that South Dakota is on the side of rational people and the Biden Administration is going to lose in the court of public opinion on this issue.

Gov. Noem on Biden's Title IX reinterpretation: 'Mr. President, we'll see you in court'​

“South Dakota will continue to defend basic fairness so that our girls can compete and achieve," Noem said​

​
South Dakota’s Republican Gov. Kristi Noem on Thursday pledged to stand up to the Biden administration’s threats to defund lunch programs for schools that do not adopt the president’s interpretation of Title IX – a move which conservatives have celebrated as a defense of women’s sports.​
​
“President Biden is holding lunch money for poor Americans hostage in pursuit of his radical agenda,” Noem said in a statement. “He is insisting that we allow biological males to compete in girls’ sports or else lose funding for SNAP and school lunch programs.”​
​
“South Dakota will continue to defend basic fairness so that our girls can compete and achieve. I would remind President Biden that we have defeated him in litigation before and are ready to do so again.”​
​
“Mr. President, we’ll see you in court,” the conservative governor warned.​
​
Noem’s comments came just days after the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) announced that it will interpret “the prohibition on discrimination based on sex found in Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 … to include discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.” . . . ​

I met Kristi Noem once. She is a great conservative and a redneck.

Oh wait...

Pretty sure that the bathrooms and locker rooms are also limited to the biological sex of the student too.

Sounds crazy to be so closed minded that we wouldn't allow multi-sex bathrooms/locker rooms or sports competitions.

Biden linkage of school lunches to LGBTQ agenda holds low-income kids 'hostage': critics

"This administration believes children belong to them, not parents, and wants to ensure the next generation is confused about its gender," said Marc Little.

Biden linkage of school lunches to LGBTQ agenda holds low-income kids 'hostage': critics​

"This administration believes children belong to them, not parents, ​

and wants to ensure the next generation is confused about its gender," ​

said Marc Little.​

The Biden administration's controversial new mandate tying school lunch funds to the implementation of its transgender policies will primarily hurt low-income and minority students, according to experts and community activists.​
​
"Holding the lunch money of low-income and underprivileged kids hostage in order to advance a woke gender orthodoxy shows precisely the lengths to which the president will go to ensure his pet policies on 'gender identity' are rammed through American lunchrooms, classrooms, bathrooms, dorm rooms, and sports teams," said Sarah Parshall Perry, senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation.​
​
Perry was referring to the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), an agency within the Department of Agriculture (USDA), announcing last month that it will extend its interpretation of prohibitions on sex-based discrimination contained in Title IX to include discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.​
​
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 forbids sex-based discrimination in any educational institution that receives federal money.​
​
Because the USDA provides federally subsidized school lunches nationwide, schools will now need to comply with the administration's LGBTQ policies in order to maintain the federal funding.​
​
Schools that receive funds from FNS must also "investigate allegations of discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation," the agency said in its announcement. "Those organizations must also update their non-discrimination policies and signage to include prohibitions against discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation."​
​
The USDA manages the National School Lunch Program, which fed about 30 million students a day before the COVID-19 pandemic upended school schedules. Under the program, low-income children are eligible to receive reduced-price or free meals at school.​
​
The new interpretation of Title IX will mean that schools can lose funding for such programs if they don't implement transgender-inclusive policies, which often include rules allowing transgender students to use the bathroom and locker room of their preferred gender.​
​
"This is child abuse and social engineering that school districts and parents have to stand up to," said Marc Little, a California-based lawyer and pastor who started a charter school in Los Angeles comprised of mainly black and Hispanic students. "The harm will beset children of color in particular."​
​
While researchers and federal auditors have long documented the waste and inefficiencies in federal meal programs, studies also show they can improve the healthand classroom performance of students.​
​
But according to some experts, the administration's new mandate prioritizes ideology and politics over trying to improve school meal programs for those in need.​
​
"Instead of focusing taxpayer resources to serve children in need, the administration is coercing schools to adopt dangerous policies, such as allowing biological males to use girls' bathrooms and locker rooms, in order for schools to participate in federal meal programs," . . . .​
 
This case perfectly illustrates the reason behind the myriad of federal agencies, and why this system must be abolished. Think about it - the citizens of all 50 states send their tax dollars to the federal government for education, welfare, roads, etc. Then the federal government issues that money back to the states in the form of grants and funding for education, welfare, roads, etc. however, two (2) things happen with this system - first, there is a tremendous amount of waste, and second, the federal government acquires A LOT of power.

it would be similar to turning on your kitchen faucet, but instead of in your own sink, the water flowed into a bucket at your neighbors house - a bucket with several small holes in the bottom. You would have to stay on good terms with your neighbor, perhaps even compromising your own ethics and morals, so that you could retrieve your water. Then you have to suffer the loss through the holes in the bucket as you take your water back to your house. Your neighbor would fight your efforts to simplify your plumbing and have your water flow at your house, because he’d lose his power over you…
 
I think the recent EPA ruling by SCOTUS will eventually strike down the USDA mandate.
It materially effects the families and is not a law passed by Congress.
SCOTUS will walk this path to USDA unless the rules are changed before they do.
This is why the left will continue to demonize and attack SOTUS with all they have.
