[FreeBeacon] The Biden administration is requiring schools to comply with its LGBT policies or lose billions in federal funding for school lunches.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service announced in May it will prevent low-income students from participating in its National School Lunch Program if their public school does not adopt the administration's interpretation of Title IX, which holds that the federal civil rights law's provision against discrimination based on sex includes designations of sexual orientation and gender identity. The move was originally reported by The Center Square.
A spokeswoman for Florida governor Ron DeSantis (R.) said the Biden administration’s decision to "withhold food from disadvantaged children in order to advance a deranged political agenda" was "appalling."
"We will not allow Biden to force Floridians to choose between children’s food and parents’ rights," DeSantis’s press secretary Christina Pushaw told the Washington Free Beacon. "That is the kind of ’decision' that a totalitarian regime would force upon its citizenry."
South Dakota governor Kristi Noem (R.) told the Free Beacon her state will take legal action.
"Joe Biden has threatened to take away children’s school lunch money to pursue his radical agenda," Noem said. "He’s targeting states like ours that make it clear biological men do NOT belong in girls’ bathrooms and sports. If you act on this, Joe, we’ll see you in court and we will win."

The policy may not stand up in court, will definitely energize the conservative base, and will push more minority voters towards the GOP. Other than that it is brilliantly conceived.

[FoxNews] Major cities and other areas across the country have implemented changes preventing police officers from pulling people over for minor offenses, sparking condemnation from police unions and experts warning such changes will promote cultures of lawlessness.
"Not only are these good opportunities for officers to interact with the public, these are also very important law enforcement and investigative tools. And what starts as what may be a minor offense, often leads to the discovery of much more serious crimes and the enforcement of laws dealing with much more serious crimes," Heritage Foundation legal fellow Zack Smith told Fox News Digital of such law changes to who police officers pull over.
Philadelphia was the first major city in the United States that banned police officers from pulling drivers over for minor traffic violations in March. Low-level traffic offenses are ones such as an expired vehicle registration for 60 days or less, a single brake or headlight that is broken, minor bumper damage, or using a car without an official certificate of inspection.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — The Biden administration declared that June will be called "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, And Intersex Pride Month" in a proclamation released on Tuesday. Last year, "intersex" was not included in the proclamation.
Intersex is a chromosomal defect that affects fewer than one percent of Americans.
"Today, the rights of LGBTQI+ Americans are under relentless attack. Members of the LGBTQI+ community — especially people of color and trans people — continue to face discrimination and cruel, persistent efforts to undermine their human rights," President Joe Biden’s proclamation stated.
He criticized the “onslaught of dangerous anti-LGBTQI+ legislation [that] has been introduced,” in apparent reference to laws or actions that prohibit the chemical and genital mutilation of minors. These laws are aimed at “targeting transgender children and their parents and interfering with their access to health care,” according to the president.
The Biden administration has released several documents that urge the chemical and genital mutilation of children who struggle with gender confusion. The guidance documents support the injection of children with irreversible puberty blockers as well as the surgical removal of healthy tissue and body parts.
Intersex is a general term used for a variety of conditions in which a person is born with a reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn’t seem to fit the typical definitions of female or male. For example, a person might be born appearing to be female on the outside, but having mostly male-typical anatomy on the inside. Or a person may be born with genitals that seem to be in-between the usual male and female types—for example, a girl may be born with a noticeably large clitoris, or lacking a vaginal opening, or a boy may be born with a notably small penis, or with a scrotum that is divided so that it has formed more like labia. Or a person may be born with mosaic genetics, so that some of her cells have XX chromosomes and some of them have XY.
[FoxNews] The Biden administration says it will cancel federal student loans for some 560,000 borrowers who attended the for-profit Corinthian Colleges chain.
Under the new action, hundreds of thousands of students who attended the now-defunct chain will receive $5.8 billion in full loan discharges – the largest of its kind in the Department of Education's history.
Trying to buy votes for November.
"As of today, every student deceived, defrauded and driven into debt by Corinthian Colleges can rest assured that the Biden-Harris Administration has their back and will discharge their federal student loans," Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said in a statement. "For far too long, Corinthian engaged in the wholesale financial exploitation of students, misleading them into taking on more and more debt to pay for promises they would never keep."
Thousands of former Corinthian students were already eligible for debt cancellation, but they had to file paperwork and navigate an application process that advocates say is confusing and not widely known.
Those who have a remaining balance on their debt will also get refunds on payments they have already made, Education Department officials said. Students who have paid off their school loans will not be eligible.
At its peak, Corinthian was one of the nation's largest for-profit college companies, with more than 110,000 at 100 campuses across the country.
The company shut down in 2015 amid widespread findings of fraud. The Obama administration found that scores of campuses were falsifying data on the success of their graduates. In some cases, the schools reported that students had found jobs in their fields of study even though they were working at grocery stores or fast-food chains.

THE scam is the one in which academia has decided to enrich itself by making the secondary schools into a feeder system for colleges and universities. They turned themselves into paper mills to line their pockets with the aiding and abetting of the pols at the trough of the public treasury.

Where did all that money go? If the students used the loans to pay tuition, where did the tuition money go?
Besides, it's the government and Sallie Mae that deceives and defrauds students every day by encouraging them to take loans that they can never repay.

The money went to teachers, administrators and financial functionaries who could not get jobs at real universities.

$5.8 billion in federal student loan debt for 560,000 students who attended Corinthian (Wikipedia)
Or, just over $10k per student, on average. A different way to "Build Back Better". A boost to the economy!

Brother-in-law got a degree from a similar program some years ago and has mostly paid off the loan. No regrets. Parlayed his degree into a great fiber optic job at a national research lab.
