The current administration, led by President Biden, has introduced a rule that could lead to educational institutions losing crucial lunch money funding if they resist certain progressive mandates. These new directives, falling primarily into the realm of sexual orientation and gender, have resulted in renewed uproar. The Center Square reports that failure to adhere to these agenda points may lead to a loss of tax-granting federal funds that are managed under the Department of Agriculture's operation.

This dispute ignited when, in May 2022, the USDA expressed its intent to shift its longstanding interpretation of Title IX. Title IX is a comprehensive law that prescribes anti-discrimination measures in education. Recently, the department announced plans to amplify their prohibitions against sexual discrimination, including aspects of sexual orientation and gender identity.

School lunch funding operates under the USDA's Food and Nutrition Service. Therefore, this means that local and state agencies, programs operators, and sponsors benefiting from FNS funds have to probe discrimination allegations that revolve around sexual orientation and gender identity. Indeed, they must also renovate their non-discrimination policies and signs to explicitly include prohibitions against gender identity and sexual orientation discrimination.

This development is a fundamental departure from how Title IX had traditionally been comprehended. Sarah Perry, well-versed on this matter and an attorney with the distinguished Heritage Foundation, expressed her views on this issue to the media.

As the spectrum of gender identities and orientations continues to broaden, schools are, albeit amidst political conflict, now saddled with the responsibility of maneuvering this intricate and politically charged atmosphere of sexuality and gender identity. They now do so, given the proposed rule can withstand the legal objections that have already sprung up.
