Yet more problematic stuff

[JimC]

And anyway, all Epstein's pervert friends are Deep State Liberals!

[Brian Peacock]

To protect the girls? Really? They're actually saying that?

[pErvinalia]

Yeah.

It's a cult.

[JimC]

He covered their naked bodies with his own, to protect them from evil liberals!

The US Supreme Court has already ruled that protections against discrimination on the basis of sex shall include gender identity. That doesn't sit well with the promoters of right-wing moral panic over gender non-conforming people, and by god they're not going to sit still for it!

'Republicans in 10 States Have Now Used Courts to Block Biden’s LGBTQ Student Protections'

On Monday a U.S. district judge in Kentucky temporarily blocked the Biden administration’s new Title IX protections for LGBTQ students in six states, bringing the total number of states the new rules will likely not go into effect August 1 to ten. Republican state attorneys general are fighting the Biden Dept. of Education policies that protect the minority students.

...

“The judge’s order makes clear that the U.S. Department of Education’s attempt to redefine ‘sex’ to include ‘gender identity’ is unlawful and beyond the agency’s regulatory authority,” Kentucky state Attorney General Russell Coleman said in a statement, despite the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Bostock.

...

Judge Reeves, a Bush-43 appointee, began his ruling by writing, “There are two sexes: male and female.”

“This case concerns an attempt by the executive branch to dramatically alter the purpose and meaning of Title IX through rulemaking,” Reeves continued. “But six states, an association of Christian educators, and one fifteen-year-old girl object. As they correctly argue, the new rule contravenes the plain text of Title IX by redefining ‘sex’ to include gender identity, violates government employees’ First Amendment rights, and is the result of arbitrary and capricious rulemaking.”

Louisville Public Media reports, “Reeves also said he believed the case would win on parental rights grounds.”

“It follows that parents retain a constitutionally protected right to guide their own children on matters of identity, including the decision to adopt or reject various gender norms and behaviors,” Reeves wrote.

So when will they go back to race and gender segregation in schools and colleges?

BTW does judge reeves sit in court wearing uncured animal skins? if he's that prehistoric in his head, he should dress accordingly.

So when will they go back to race and gender segregation in schools and colleges?

If Justice Clarence Thomas gets his way they will.

[Sean Hayden]

So he’s arguing schools that protect gender identities interfere with his ability to raise kids to what exactly, deny those identities, dislike them, hate them, what?

It think the judge believes all the above should be entirely up to parents, and schools should not interfere in any way.

seriously? I thought him the poster boy for the results of desegregation?

I'd not be surprised if he also were hugely in favor of home schooling and private education, as the state is going over its mandate by providing education to such as neither appreciate nor deserve it.

He would have been entering primary school when Brown v. Board of Education was decided and it seems he did in fact benefit from desegregation. He also apparently benefitted from affirmative action, and resents it mightily:

During a 1980 Washington Post interview, Thomas said: "You had to prove yourself every day because the presumption was that you were dumb and didn't deserve to be there on merit."

"Every time you walked into a law class at Yale it was like having a monkey jump down on your back from the Gothic arches....The professors and the students resented your very presence."

His feelings were more explicit in the 2007 memoir My Grandfather's Son, in which Thomas wrote: "As much as it stung to be told that I'd done well in the seminary despite my race, it was far worse to feel that I was now at Yale because of it."

Nobody forced him to study law at yale, he's an ingrate butthole

[Brian Peacock]

Mr Justice Ingrate Butthole to the likes of you.

[Svartalf]
