After the Biden administration’s newly unveiled plan to tie federal funding for school lunches to transgender and other gender ideology was recently revealed, the Arizona Senate could take action to protect the state’s school children.
“As our Senate leadership team continues to negotiate a budget with the House and the Governor’s Office, they may consider leaving some wiggle room that would allow financial support for school meals,” Kim Quintero, director of communications of the Arizona State Senate told The Arizona Sun Times. “They may also consider pushing legal action against the Biden Administration for this ludicrous plan. At this point, all options are on the table, and these are conversations our members will be having in the coming weeks.”
Friday, the State Senate released a letter condemning the Biden administration’s plan, which would force schools to adopt policies including gender-neutral bathrooms and transgender athletics or risk losing federal funding to pay for school lunches for low-income students.
Under the plan, schools that receive Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) money from the federal government would also be required to investigate any claims of discrimination on the basis of gender identity, which the U.S. Department of Agriculture said it was adding to its definition of “sex-based discrimination.”
Failure to adhere to investigative guidelines would lead to the loss of FNS funding, used to provide school lunches for low-income students.
“President Biden and the rest of the Democrat Party are shoving this woke and dangerous agenda down the throats of our innocent kids,” a press release from the State Senate Republicans said. “The federal government is literally threatening to stop feeding the poorest of children if schools don’t allow boys in girls’ bathrooms, boys in girls’ showers, or boys on girls’ sports teams.”
“‘Sexual orientation’ and ‘gender identity are broad, unscientific and ill-defined subjective terms,” according to the release. “Under these rules, a biological make could wake up one day, decide he’s a female and join the girls in the locker room. Every parent in Arizona should be outraged by Biden’s blatant disregard for student safety”
“This will not happen in Arizona, and we will fight back to ensure this unethical ideology does not infiltrate our state.”

It’s all diversionary democrat BS.
Why are the evil NWO globalists & their demonic lap dogs forcing us to kowtow to 0.3% of the twisted freaks of nature? Lia Tomas the buff dude that broke all female swimming records walks around the girls locker room with his wanker swingin. Apparently he likes girls so his ginormous schlong gets erect. Makes the girls uncomfortable to say the least,
You know the Republicans are like fish taking on a fake worm. The Dems are setting up this scenerio to put the GOP against THE CHILDREN, not common sense which is wasteful spending. The bottom line the GOP will look like the childrens GRAND OGRE PARTY>
With all that is falling apart under this president this is what Demented Joe and his teleprompter programmer want to focus? With a red Congress, both the House and the Senate, this November much of this leftist nonsense and governing by executive order can be shut down.
Can anybody with any intelligence at all offer even one benefit of having boys and girls share restrooms? Can anyone explain any real science connected with gender identification? Has the WOKE group gone 100% crazy?
I seem to recall from my sophomore biology class in high school that babies were born with chromosomes, xx for females and xy males. Neither one can modify this chromatic assignment xy’s should not be participating in xx competitions.
Good for Arizonans! Every bit of B.S. coming from Biden & friends needs to be challenged. These coercive tactics from our gov’t are not acceptable. We should challenge every one of these attempts to infringe on individual rights. Remember all these threats against common sense on election day!
P.S.
Maybe we should also change the initials “B.S.” to stand for “Biden’s Sh**.
