Articles / Education / Politics & Policy Oklahoma State School Superintendent says the State Will Sue Over Biden’s Changes to Title IX The federal Department of Education says public schools that don’t comply with the new regulations will not receiving federal funding. By: Oklahoma State Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters says the state’s schools will not comply with President Joe Biden’s changes to Title IX and he plans to file a lawsuit. “We told the Biden administration two things,” Walters said on the “Furthermore with Amanda Head” podcast. “Number one, we will not comply. We’re not going to do it. We are absolutely under no circumstances going to allow boys in girls’ bathrooms and boys in girls’ sports. And number two, we’re going to sue you. We’re going to stop this from going into effect nationally.” Biden’s Department of Education on April 19 expanded the definition of sex discrimination to include gender identity and pregnancy, rolling back Trump-era rules on student sexual-misconduct cases that raised the bar of proof for sexual misconduct and bolstered the rights of those accused. “It is absolutely absurd that they would be willing to endanger young girls and women this way,” Walters said. “It is absurd. They would all of a sudden turn a school system on its head.” Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis likewise declared his state will not comply with the Title IX redefinition. The federal Department of Education says public schools that don’t comply with the new regulations will not receive federal funding. “We stepped in the way and said, ‘Hey, we’re not going to comply. We’re ordering you not to comply with Joe Biden and if he got a problem with it, he can come down here and try to make me do it,’” said Walters. “Let me tell you, that’s not going to happen.” TOP STORIES Trump Lawyer Suggests Jack Smith Plead The Fifth In Testimony, Suggests He's Complicit In Crimes NC GOP Chairman Says Democratic Voter Registrations Are Plummeting As Party Has 'Abandoned' Values Johnson Called Biden To Demand More Security For Trump: GOP Rep.

Articles / Education / Politics & Policy Education Dept to Open Civil Rights Probe into UC Berkeley Allegedly Banning White People from Farm “We envision a vibrant community farm, a model of shared governance and co-stewardship that helps restore community resilience,” the farm’s website reads. By: The Department of Education is looking into an allegation that the University of California at Berkeley is prohibiting white residents from using a community farm on Saturdays. The department’s Office for Civil Rights said the agency does not comment on pending investigations. However, a Berkeley spokesperson told Just the News the university will be cooperating with the probe but offered no further comment. The complaint was file by the nonprofit law firm Mountain States Legal Foundation, which on Tuesday said the department was looking into the allegation. General counsel for the group, William Trachman, said a whistleblower came forward and alleged the university-ownedGill Tract Community Farm offered its space and services only to black, indigenous and people of color on Saturdays. The farm was launched in 2013 as a partnership between the university and different neighborhoods in the area, according to The New York Post. “We envision a vibrant community farm, a model of shared governance and co-stewardship that helps restore community resilience,” the farm’s website reads. Trachman said recently on the “Furthermore with Amanda Head” podcast the whistleblower believes in the farm’s mission statement but doesn’t support the alleged discrimination. “That person who shall remain nameless reached out to us and sent us the documents that proved that Saturdays were [Black, Indigenous and People of Color] Only days,” he said. “So we filed a complaint. Not a lawsuit, but a complaint.” Trachman previously served in the Department of Education as Deputy Assistant Secretary in the Office for Civil Rights and has clerked on the circuit court. “As a public institution, UC Berkeley is bound by federal civil rights and anti-discrimination laws, and the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution,” the group says.
