Do you approve of blackmail? No? Do you realize the land you love and imagine to be the greatest ever has resorted, continues to resort to blackmail in order to achieve its desired goals?

One of the latest examples is the Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. administration blackmailing American schools that unless they include and push — big time — the lies, the brainwashing and indoctrination of the homosexual and transgender agenda those schools would not receive any federal funds to support their food programs for that school’s students.

Hold food hostage. Dictate our evil agenda and lies or else! That’s the American way now, isn’t it?

Withhold the money to provide food unless complying with the indoctrination and propaganda of the fascist homosexual and transgender movement.

Well, isn’t that special? And here you thought this was the land of the free, the home of the brave, and when you inhaled you smelled a fresh apple pie, and that car horn you just heard outside your window emanated from a Chevrolet!

Well, as are all things American these days, this landed in the U.S. justice system. A lawsuit, of course.

Tragically, it resorted to taking the Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. administration to court in order to receive the right which should have existed from the outset, or better yet should never have arisen because no government should implement blackmail nor implement the brainwashing and lies of the homosexual and transgender agenda in any school — religious or not.

Some certainly count what is contained in the following article a victory, and it is, for now. But if anyone thinks the evil in this land will surrender, that somehow America is going to go back to how things were 80, 100 years ago and folks would read their Bibles, teach their children well, that schools would permit Bible reading and prayer, and that the sin and evil of homosexuality and transgenderism would be put back in the bottle — well, that person is most deluded and residing in a nonexistent fantasy land.

America is lost and losing itself more and more each passing day.

This is just but one example.

It isn’t going to get better. No matter any election or politician.

Grow up people of this lost and sinful land. Grow up in the ways of the Lord found in His Word, the Holy Bible. Grow up in the ways of the Lord for those are the only ways that truly matter, those ways lead to eternal life for those who believe, trust, serve and obey.

Everything else leads to death. Only to death.

America will not exist or be remembered in 100,000 years.

Whereas every person ever born will have their spirits residing in one place or another. Then. Either heaven or hell.

Where is your heart? Your priority? Your faith?

Yes, this is good news regarding the Title IX exemption for religious schools — homosexuality and transgenderism should never have been included in Title IX, to begin with! It’s a perversion of the intent of that law. A corrupting of the language — not like that ever happens in America, or blackmail by the government, right?

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

Isaiah 5:20 — English Standard Version

if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

USDA says religious schools will be granted automatic Title IX exemption

  • Religious schools will continue to receive federal meal funding even if they do not adhere to new Title IX requirements, according to USDA guidance published Friday.

  • USDA in May said it would expand its definition of sex-based discrimination to include sexual orientation and gender identity, and schools would have to adjust their nondiscrimination policies to receive funding from the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), including for the National School Lunch Program (NSLP).

  • The Biden administration granted a religious exemption to a private Christian school in Florida last week following a lawsuit.

Religious schools will not be required to follow new Title IX regulations in order to receive federal meal funding, the Agriculture Department (USDA) said in new guidance.

USDA in May announced it would be broadening its definition of sex-based discrimination to include sexual orientation and gender identity, and said schools and other qualifying organizations would need to update their nondiscrimination policies accordingly to receive funding from the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), including for the National School Lunch Program (NSLP).

The announcement set off a firestorm of protest from religious institutions who said the new mandate infringes on their rights to freedom of speech and religion, and accused the Biden administration of holding school lunches hostage to further its agenda.

But in a document dated Aug. 12, USDA clarified that it does not require religious schools to submit written requests for a Title IX exemption in order to claim one.

There are several exceptions to Title IX – the federal law that prohibits sex-based discrimination – the department said, including one permitting an institution to be exempt “if there is a conflict between Title IX and a school’s governing religious tenets.”

Earlier this month, the Biden administration said it would grant such an exemption to Grant Park Christian Academy in Tampa, Fla., a private school of 56 pre-K through eighth-grade students from low-income families.

Attorneys for the school last month sued the administration, along with Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried, arguing that a new federal mandate expanding the definition of sex to include sexual orientation and gender identity would hinder its ability to execute its educational mission of helping students develop “lifelong Christian character traits.”

The federal mandate has been the subject of other complaints and legal challenges since it was announced in May. A group of 22 attorneys general in May filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration over the new rule, which they argued is unlawful and unconstitutional, in part because it is “based on a misapplication of U.S. Supreme Court precedents.”

“We all know the Biden administration is dead-set on imposing an extreme left-wing agenda on Americans nationwide,” Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita (R), who is leading the lawsuit, said last month. “But they’ve reached a new level of shamelessness with this ploy of holding up food assistance for low-income kids unless schools do the Left’s bidding.”

In a statement on Friday, Erica Steinmiller-Perdomo, legal counsel at the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), which had been representing Grant Park Christian Academy, said the administration was “rightly honoring” the beliefs of other religious schools across the nation.

“While it shouldn’t have taken a federal lawsuit, at least now, all religious schools like Grant Park Christian Academy who rely on the USDA’s funding to serve nutritious meals to kids in need can continue this vital service in their communities,” she said.
