Biden’s Title IX rules serve military injustice to college students

Liberal college campuses typically try to distinguish and distance themselves from the military. For the longest time, many campuses had banned or essentially banned ROTC, although that has waned in the past decade. The longtime myth was that the military was a place of last resort for people who couldn’t otherwise make it in college. Given the recent trend of college life breeding anti-semitism and people that can’t seem to perform basic activities like reading, I give the military the upper hand on this one.

College and the military now share one very dark truth when it comes to prosecuting crimes. President Biden recently changed many Trump-era Title IX regulations that required due process in dealing with sexual harassment claims. In the past, if you accused someone of sexual assault on campus, the accused person had a right to confront the accuser and demand evidence. That seems so basic, yet campuses howled in pain at being required to take seriously accusations and, you know, actually look for evidence before disciplining students.

That’s entirely gone now. You can now, quite literally, accuse a fellow student of sexual assault, not provide evidence, and if the judge is persuaded by your story, your fellow student can be kicked out of the school without ever getting the chance to provide his or her side of the story.

That sounds insane to anyone who thinks justice is important. But its exactly like another system that exists in the US Military called non-judicial punishment (NJP).

Now, the “non-judicial” title might make you think it is some sort of proceeding that will be swept under the rug and not really hurt you. That couldn’t be further from the truth. NJP can impose some harsh punishments, such as cutting half of your pay for up to 2 months as well as restricting you to a barracks room for up to two months. More importantly, any NJP action can basically end your career. The military’s high year tenure system means if you don’t advance to a certain rank after so much time, they can separate you with the stroke of a pen.

The military has been under the gun to “do something” about sexual assault, so its not uncommon anymore to see someone accused of sexual assault get punished at NJP even with a lack of evidence. That’s because NJP, like Title IX, uses the “preponderance of evidence” standard, meaning that you don’t have to prove something beyond a reasonable doubt, just that there is some evidence that might point to the person being guilty. It could simply be a statement from the accuser. It doesn’t have to be scrutinized, it just needs to be persuasive to the military officer holding NJP.

The military and college campuses can now both hold claim to being centers of injustice in America.

Thanks to Joe Biden’s Title IX Proclamation Transgenderism is now the official religion of the United States

The political left inhabits an alternate universe, one where the most basic scientific truths are looked at with disdain.  Knowledge, facts, and logic do not matter to those Marxists, only their feelings and their radical beliefs.  They take great pleasure in forcing their distorted world view on everyone else. 

Whenever a radical leftist inhabits the White House, that individual works tirelessly through unconstitutional executive orders, to cram their radical beliefs down the throats of the American people.  This is in direct violation of the Establishment of Religion Clause of the First Amendment.

Just last week, Joe Biden issued the proclamation documented in the following article: Biden’s Title IX Rewrite Is Here (townhall.com)

On Friday, the Biden administration released new rules to protect LGBTQ+ individuals under the federal civil rights legislation Title IX. Title IX went into effect in 1972 to protect sex discrimination in educational programs that receive federal funding.

Going forward, the basis of “sex” now encompasses the concept of “gender identity.”

“These regulations make it crystal clear that everyone can access schools that are safe, welcoming and that respect their rights,” Miguel Cardona, Biden’s education secretary,

This final regulation strengthens and restores vital protections against sex discrimination, including sexual harrassment. It also protects students against discrimination based on pregnancy or related conditions, sexual orientation and gender identity,”

This Executive order is unconstitutional in the extreme because it completely distorts the original meaning and purpose of the original Title IX legislation.

“Extending Title IX to cover gender identity means that schools will no longer have discretion over whether – or how – to provide certain services and activities to students on the basis of self-declared gender identity. Title IX was written in 1972 when ‘sex’ meant male and female, and no amount of interpretive jiujitsu permits a cabinet agency to rewrite the plain language of the law,” Nicole Neily, president of Parents Defending Education, told Townhall. “Efforts to do so have failed repeatedly in Congress for one simple reason: such an expansion of law is deeply unpopular, with opposition to these changes spanning both political and racial lines. This betrayal of students will not soon be forgotten by American parents, and we look forward to suing the Administration over this policy soon.”

“It’s 2024 and the Biden administration doesn’t believe there is a difference between biological females and biological males. They believe extending the definition of sex in Title IX to include gender identity is ‘inclusive,’ when in reality it excludes biological females. Not only will this change effectively eliminate the intended purpose of Title IX, it will open the floodgates for Districts to require minor females to share restrooms and spaces with male students and teachers, leading to an increase in sexual harassment and sexual assault,” PDE Vice President Caroline Moore added.

Taking opportunities from women and giving them to men doesn’t enforce Title IX, it violates it. That was true before the Administration dropped this rule, and it is still true today,” Jennifer Braceras, vice president for legal affairs at the Independent Women’s Forum said in a statement. 

Transgenderism is very much a pagan religion.  Biden’s rewrite of Title IX enshrines it as the official religion of the United States in direct violation of the Establishment Clause.  This rewrite also violates the Freedom of Speech clause of the First Amendment,

The Biden administration’s new Title IX regulations issued last week avoided using the word “transgender,” but the rules, which go into effect on August 1, are already being interpreted as protecting transgenderism, especially in the use of specialized pronouns when transgender and LGBTQ students demand their use.

Oh Canadian Teeth!

Canada is known for a lot of things, ranging from hockey and moose to maple syrup and embarrassing dictators running the country. One thing that many uneducated Americans think Canada is good at is health care. I’ve had various Canadian friends throughout the years tell me the health care is terrible, and this past week showed me this hasn’t changed one bit.

I spent this week in Canada teaching a class. The first thing I noticed was the poor dental care. Well over half the people I interacted with had terrible teeth. Like, we’re talking “someone punched you in the mouth” levels of bad here. When I asked some of my students, all of them confirmed that Canada’s dental care is abysmal. Only 55% of Canadians have private dental insurance, and only 4% can get government insurance. Over one third of Canadians haven’t seen a dentist in the last 12 months. And its not just the poor folks either. The people I ran into working at nice hotels and nice restaurants had terrible teeth, folks that likely have at least some money, but can’t afford the care. The government can’t even afford to pay dental hygienists a good salary, despite rolling out plan after plan to do so.

It didn’t end at teeth though. Despite spending nearly a third of all government money on health care, Canada has terrible emergency room wait times. We’re talking 22 hours on average to be placed in a hospital…in Ontario. Not a small place, mind you. One of my students confirmed that most emergency rooms turn you away to stay at home unless something is absolutely life threatening. The regular care is not any better either. One student told me that his wife went in to get a referral for a dermatologist. 8 years later…yes, that is not a typo…they got a phone call for the referral, which they had forgotten about by that point.

8 years for a referral…I never thought someone could make Tricare look bad, but Canada, you take the crown!

House Republicans proved they are no better than Democrats

No major American political party represents the will of American voters, nor do they respect the Constitution.  The Democratic Party, which used to represent workers, has gone completely Marxist.  The Republican Party claims to be the party which loves individual liberty, free market capitalism, and the Constitution.  Events documented in this article prove they are just as bad as the Democrats: Breitbart – Lawmakers, Privacy Experts Sound Alarm on Most ‘Terrifying Expansions of Government Surveillance’ in History in Spy Powers Bill

Lawmakers and privacy experts on both sides of the political spectrum are sounding the alarm on a provision in a spy powers reform bill that one senator described as one of the “most terrifying expansions of government surveillance” in history.

Eighty-six House Republicans last Friday voted for the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act (RISAA), a bill that would reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Section 702 is a government surveillance authority that is meant to target foreign adversaries, but often surveils Americans’ communications without a warrant.

The 86 Republicans who voted for this pile of excrement are traitors to the United States Constitution.   They did worse than vote to reauthorize FISA, they made it far more odious.

Despite the outrage at the passage of the legislation, 110 Republicans also voted for an amendment proposed by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH) and committee Ranking Member Jim Himes (D-CT) that would seek dramatically expand the ability for the government to surveil Americans’ communications.

The measure updates the definition of electronic service provider to also include “any other service provider who has access to equipment that is being or may be used to transmit or store wire or electronic communications.”

The amendment would significantly expand the number of businesses and their employees who could be compelled to spy on their customers and provide warrantless access to their communications systems in accordance to this controversial FISA provision.

As you can see from this article, Breitbart – Eighty-Six House Republicans Vote for Warrantless Surveillance of Americans, the traitorous Republicans took a philosophical and literal dump on the Constitution.

Eighty-six House Republicans on Friday voted against an amendment to require a warrant for surveillance of Americans’ communications.

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) proposed an amendment to the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act (RISAA), a bill that would reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Section 702 is a law that is meant to target foreign adversaries, but often surveils Americans’ private communications without a warrant.

The amendment tied at 212-212 in the House; a tie in the House means that the measure fails. Although Biggs’s amendment did receive support from a majority of Republicans, 86 House Republicans failed to support the proposal.

Speaker of the House Johnson proved himself to be no better than Nancy Pelosi when he cast the deciding vote on this abomination.
