that prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
The challenge, led by Tennessee Attorney General Herbert Slatery, claims that the federal government is attempting to force states and schools to follow antidiscrimination requirements that “misconstrue the law.”In May, the USDA announced that it would include discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity as a violation of Title IX, the sweeping 1972 law that guarantees equity between the sexes in “any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.
The agency warned that states and schools that receive federal funds, which include the national school lunch program overseen by the USDA, have agreed to follow civil rights laws. Although the agency says it wants voluntary compliance, it also has promised to refer violations to the Department of Justice.
It is not clear whether the federal government would hold back funding for school meal programs as part of its enforcement, which is how Paxton characterized the directive“Nutrition assistance for children in need should not be used as a chip in a political game,” he said. “Biden’s threats to take away children’s lunch money are cruel and callous.”
I’ve filed my 30th plaintiff-side lawsuit against the Biden admin because nutrition assistance for children in need should not be used as a chip in a political game. Biden’s threats to take away children’s lunch money are cruel and callous.
