            The New Biden-Harris Rule That Could Upend the Election

   Posted on Tuesday, August 20, 2024

   On August 1, the Biden-Harris administration stealthily began enforcing a
   new series of Title IX regulations that, beginning this school year, will
   allow males who claim transgender status to enter women's bathrooms and
   locker rooms, receive women's scholarships, and live in women's dorm rooms
   in schools that receive public funds. The new rules will also compel
   students and faculty to use the "preferred pronouns" of
   transgender-identifying individuals.

   Though the corporate media has been shy to report on this development,
   parents and families will soon see first-hand just how radical the
   administration's Title IX rewrite is. The public backlash could reach a
   crescendo just as many voters make their final decisions in this
   November's elections.

   The new Biden-Harris Title IX rules specifically prohibit discrimination
   on the basis of "gender identity" instead of biological sex-obliterating
   the legal distinction between men and women. As a result,
   transgender-identifying individuals are now empowered to sue schools for
   harassment if they dare to oppose transgender ideology.

   Fortunately for American children and parents, federal courts in Kentucky
   and Louisiana have prohibited the Biden-Harris administration from
   enforcing the rules in states and schools that have sought to block them.
   And just last week, the Supreme Court affirmed those rulings, meaning that
   the administration cannot enforce the Title IX changes in states that have
   challenged them as legal proceedings continue.

   But even with the Supreme Court's ruling, the legal, political, and
   cultural battle over gender in public schools is far from over-and
   although the Biden-Harris rules are temporarily on hold in some states,
   parents and families have every reason to remain vigilant.

   As the campaign season enters its final stretch, the left has been
   understandably silent about the new rules as they seek to win support from
   moderate and Independent voters-many of whom are parents of school-age
   children-in swing states where the rules are in effect, including
   Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Arizona, and Nevada.

   As soon as students in these states start returning to the classroom in
   the coming weeks, families will be hard-pressed to ignore the new reality
   instigated by the Biden-Harris regime. Millions of parents are poised to
   soon learn that boys are sharing bathrooms and locker rooms with, taking
   scholarships from, and-in the case of college students-sharing living
   spaces with their daughters.

   In addition to creating dangerous new potential for sexual misconduct, if
   any female student is uncomfortable with and vocally opposes sharing
   private spaces with biological males, she is now guilty of discrimination
   under the new rule.

   Whether or not they realize it now, American parents are standing on the
   precipice of one of the most far-reaching, extremist, and dangerous
   transformations of the education system in American history.

   Given this alarming dynamic, Republicans have every reason to make the
   left's sinister Title IX overhaul a major campaign issue as election
   season enters its final sprint. Should they seize the opportunity, the
   conservative movement could lay the groundwork for a massive parental
   protest movement that mirrors the parental rights in education movement
   that propelled Glenn Youngkin to the Virginia Governor's Mansion in 2021
   and galvanized parents all across the nation.

   To make matters worse, the new changes will severely undermine the
   likelihood that justice will be served in cases of sexual assault. Under
   the new rules, colleges no longer must involve law enforcement when there
   is an accusation of sexual assault. Instead, the alleged offense will now
   be treated as a mere violation of student conduct rules-allowing
   university officials to act as judge, jury, and executioner.

   In addition to denying the accused their constitutional right to due
   process-effectively denying them the chance to disprove the
   allegations-this kangaroo court-style system also denies victims the
   chance to have their case handled by professionals trained to deal with
   such matters.

   Although little polling has been conducted on the rule change, every sign
   thus far indicates that it is a losing issue with voters. According to a
   poll conducted by Center Square and Noble Predictive Insights earlier this
   summer, 48 percent of American voters oppose the changes while only 42
   percent are in favor of the overhaul.

   "On the issues of bathrooms and locker rooms, the American public has
   shifted towards the right," said David Bayler, chief of research at Noble
   Predictive Insights. "People are generally wary of the most progressive
   stances on these type of issues in schools, and it's no coincidence that
   you often see Republican politicians hammering this very issue and
   Democratic politicians avoiding it and emphasizing other ones."

   But for American families getting ready to send their children back to
   school, the fight for preserving women's spaces and recognizing biological
   gender differences is far from over. Although the national GOP apparatus
   has remained largely silent on the matter, now is the perfect time to
   start emphasizing the issue in hopes of alerting swing voters as to just
   how radical, dangerous, and sweeping the Kamala Harris agenda truly is.

   In a Michigan speech shortly after the rule changes were announced in
   April, Donald Trump condemned the move as a "radical rewrite" of education
   rules that will "impose the most extreme left-wing gender ideology on
   every school in America."

   As America's future hangs in the balance between left-wing tyranny and a
   restoration of the quintessential values of family, freedom, and common
   sense, other Republicans on the ballot this fall would do well to do the
   same.
