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.”
