Kansas AG sues Biden administration over new federal protections for LGBTQ+ students
Source: Kansas Reflector
TOPEKA Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach announced Tuesday he has sued President Joe Bidens administration over the rewrite of federal rules to protect LGBTQ+ students.
Alaska, Utah and Wyoming partnered with Kansas on the lawsuit, which follows the U.S. Department of Educations release in April of new guidelines to prohibit discrimination at federally funded schools.
Set to go into effect Aug. 1, the revised Title IX rules explicitly ban discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. Under the revision, LGBTQ+ students who face discrimination will be entitled to a response from their school and can seek action from the federal government.
Kobach said the change would violate the First Amendment rights of teachers and school employees whose religious beliefs would prevent them from complying with the rule.

Looks like Kobach finally found another statewide office that would stop him from being a failed perennial candidate a la Harold Stassen or Dino Rossi.

It makes me ill that state governments bend over backwards for these snowflakes who think they have a divine right.

(2,550 posts)Not a bug. The MAGAt masses expect this kind of shit. Nay, demand it, because theyve been conditioned to be afraid of literally everyone whos even slightly different. And because the GOPQ has not one, single, solitary solution for any of the myriad of the goddamn problems facing the country, its easier to rile up the rubes than to actually fucking think of any solutions.
And while theyve got the benighted masses whipped up into an angry mob, ready to storm the Capitol, maybe lynch a few Democrats while theyre at it, and have Nazi-esque tiki torch parades, running over counter protesters with their jacked-up pickups, etc., etc., the GOPQ-balls in Congress will just go on and raid/kill Social Security and Medicare. And then blame the Democrats for that, too.
