TOPEKA — Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach announced Tuesday he has sued President Joe Biden’s 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 Education’s 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.

1. What a waste of tax dollars, but what a good way to shed some GOP voters.

2. I wish they would out these guys

They have a secret life or they wouldn't be so obsessed with the private lives of others.

3. We're a secular nation

Leave your superstitions at home or find a different job.

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

4. With Today's GOPQ, Cruelty Is A Feature...

Not a bug. The MAGAt masses expect this kind of shit. Nay, demand it, because they’ve been conditioned to be afraid of literally everyone who’s 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, it’s easier to rile up the rubes than to actually fucking think of any solutions.

And while they’ve got the benighted masses whipped up into an angry mob, ready to storm the Capitol, maybe lynch a few Democrats while they’re 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.
