Mississippi Gov Tate Reeves sounds off on 'left-wing woke ideology' that could 'change the makeup of America'
|
[FoxNews] Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves, R., is baffled why Democrats continue to push far-left cultural ideology such as allowing gender reassignment surgery for kids and insisting biological men should be able to compete against female athletes, but he’s determined to "protect" Mississippians if the federal government won’t do it.
"I've been known to say that the Democratic National Committee has moved so far to the left that I heard they were going to move their national headquarters to somewhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean," Reeves told Fox News Digital.
"That's how far left they've moved on so many issues. And this gender reassignment surgery is the latest push from the far left to change the makeup of America," Reeves continued. "It makes absolutely no sense to the average American and certainly doesn't make any sense to the average Mississippian."
Reeves, who is running for re-election, signed a law in 2021 that prohibits transgender athletes who identify as female from competing in girls' and women's sports. In March, he signed a law that prohibits medical professionals from conducting sex reassignment surgery, also called gender-affirming or confirming care, and from prescribing puberty blockers or hormone replacements to anyone in the state under 18 years of age. Reeves wasn’t finished, and recently signed bills designed to limited children’s access to sexually explicit material.
"Why on Earth is this so important to the far left that they want to literally mutilate our children? Why is it so important that they have the opportunity, and are pushing, for our children being able to see pornographic material? Why? What makes them think the way they think? It makes no sense to me at all as to why they're pushing these things," Reeves said. "We're going to defend our kids and protect them against this left-wing woke ideology that is beyond the pale of what most average Americans can even imagine."
Reeves is aware that Mississippi, which hasn’t had a Democrat governor since 2004, is seen as a deep-red state by much of the country. Many coastal elites from Democrat-run cities assume the Magnolia State doesn’t need to concern itself with transgender issues that are rampant in blue states, but Reeves feels he needs to be proactive in order to protect Mississippians.
"There's no doubt that there's probably less of this going on in the state of Mississippi than there is in some other states. But the fact of the matter is that there are clinics in Mississippi that prior to me signing legislation in the last several months that were looking at gender reassignment surgery on minors, they were looking at and offering pills and other things for kids," Reeves said.
"The D.C. elites and those in California, in New York, who always say, ‘Well, you really don't have to worry about this because you're in a red state,’ and that's never actually true because if it was allowed in large blue states, and then it moves to the purple states, and then it moves to states such as ours," Reeves continued. "And the most important thing that we can do is be proactive and do everything we can to protect our kids. And that's what I'm going to do as long as I'm governor of Mississippi."
The Biden administration has unveiled its proposal for new Title IX rules to expand the meaning of sexual discrimination to include gender identity as it relates to the application for transgender athletes participating in women's sports. Under the Department of Education's proposed rule, no school or college that receives federal funding would be allowed to impose a "one-size-fits-all" policy that categorically bans transgender students from playing on sports teams consistent with their gender identity. Such policies would be considered a violation of Title IX. Reeves strongly opposes the Biden administration’s views on the topic.
