"Act Of Pure Evil": Trump Slams Democrats Over New Orleans Truck Attack 

President-elect Donald Trump reignited the debate over immigration and crime following a tragic car-ramming incident in New Orleans that left at least 15 people dead and 35 others injured during New Year's Eve celebrations, blaming Democrats for dismissing his warnings about criminal migration into the US. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said, "When I said that the criminals coming in are far worse than the criminals we have in our country, that statement was constantly refuted by Democrats and the Fake News Media, but it turns out to be true. The crime rate in our country is at a level that nobody has ever seen before. Our hearts are with all of the innocent victims and their loved ones, including the brave officers of the New Orleans Police Department. The Trump Administration will fully support the City of New Orleans as they investigate and recover from this act of pure evil!"

“Those states had argued that unless the rule was blocked, schools would be required to allow transgender students to use restrooms and locker rooms conforming to their gender identities.” It is not “discrimination” to consider the rights and privacy of ALL students.

Texas State Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton argued that the changes were Joe Biden’s “effort to weaponize Title IX for his extremist agenda.” Paxton also said that “Threatening to withhold education funding by forcing states to accept ‘transgender’ policies that put women in danger was plainly illegal.”

Under Biden’s extension of Title IX regulations, trans activists have also been pushing for trans sports participation to be included. Interpretations of “discrimination” may also end up including the use of incorrect pronouns.

In another development involving trans youth this week, the American College of Pediatricians condemned underage gender transition.

“U.S. A judge blocks Biden's protections for transgender students in four states,” by Nate Raymond, Reuters, June 13, 2024:

A federal judge in Louisiana on Thursday blocked President Joe Biden’s administration from enforcing in four states a new rule that bars schools and colleges that receive federal funding from discriminating against students based on their gender identity.

U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty in Monroe issued a preliminary injunction barring a U.S. Department of Education rule that extended sex discrimination protections under Title IX to LGBT students from taking effect in the Republican-led states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana and Idaho.

The Education Department in issuing the rule said it clarified that the prohibition against sex-based discrimination in schools and colleges that receive federal funding contained in Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 also includes discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

The department cited a 2020 U.S. Supreme Court decision holding that a ban against sex discrimination in the workplace contained in a different law, Title VII, covered gay and transgender workers….
