The justices denied the admin's request to partially lift lower court injunctions that had blocked the entirety of the rule expanding protections under #TitleIX, a law that bars #sex #discrimination in #FederallyFunded #education programs, while litigation continues. The lower court decisions had prevented the US Education Dept from enforcing the new rule, announced in April & set to take effect on Aug 1, in #Tennessee, #Louisiana & 8 other states.

The admin sought to restore a key provision of clarifying that #discrimination "on the basis of sex" encompasses #SexualOrientation & #gender identity, as well as the rule's numerous other provisions….

Biden’s admin had asked #SCOTUS to intervene on an emergency basis in a lawsuit by #Louisiana, #Mississippi, #Montana, #Idaho, & numerous Louisiana #school boards, & another suit by #Tennessee, #Kentucky, #Ohio, #Indiana, #Virginia, #WestVirginia & an assn of *#Christian* educators.

#SCOTUS won't allow #LGBT #student #protection in certain states

In one video, Bethany Kozma, a #conservative activist & fmr deputy chief of staff at the US Agency for International Development [#USAID] in the #Trump admin, downplays the seriousness of #ClimateChange & says the movement to combat it is really part of a ploy to “control people.”

“If the American people elect a conservative president, his administration will have to eradicate climate change references from absolutely everywhere,” Kozma says.

In the video, Kozma calls the idea of #gender fluidity “evil.” Another speaker, Katie Sullivan, who was an acting asst AG at the #DOJ under #Trump, takes aim at executive actions by the admin of President #Biden that created gender adviser positions throughout the #federal govt. The goal, Biden wrote in one order, was to “advance #EqualRights & opportunities, regardless of gender or gender #identity.”

This is what the #rightwing has been reduced to; attacking #KamalaHarris for hugging people. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so pathetic. They've got nothing of substance to say about her, so they're attacking her for her #race, her #gender, her laugh, and her hugs. Anything to avoid confronting the fact that she's an amazing, well-qualified #publicServant who's going to kick #Trump's ass in November.

"You are going to see your candidate subjected to the most blistering, vile & specious personal attacks based on her #race & #gender. The effort, to be sure, is aimed at villainizing her with those who are undecided. But it’s also intended to tear her down in your eyes; to distract & demoralize you; to dampen the high spirits that are driving you toward the one goal that is above all this presidential #election year — winning — which depends on #voting"
