GWB, through his own Secretary on Education Roderick Paige, threatened many of the States by withholding federal funding for education if they did not implement No Child Left Behind under Title I. What is Title I you ask?
“Title I” is the federal program that provides funding to local school districts to improve the academic achievement of disadvantaged students. It is part of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act first passed in 1965. That Act is reauthorized by Congress from time to time, and often given a new name.
Suck on that North Carolina. Federal Mandates and laws have punch attached to them. So try that on for size. You loved that shit. Try loving Title 9. Same diff.
Its not like the federal government is the Borg…all the same, you must comply.
Heck, no! There are plenty of WalMarts we can forcibly vacate and use as detention centers. I say we invade North Carolina, assist the hostages and refugees and hold all the GOP enablers in custody until their military tribunals. North Carolina is such a beautiful state – plus, I don’t want to have a Third World nation state on my southern border. We’ll be inundated with pollution and refugees and even assholes looking for free handouts. /obviously snark.
edit to add: I will personally oversee the military tribunals – somebody’s gotta do it since Loretta Lynch has her hands full. I’ll be more than happy to assist her.
The chickens have come home to roost and they don’t seem to like it. This has been coming for a while and it is good to see the feds actually standing their ground.
“We request that you provide us with immediate assurances that you are not directing or otherwise condoning any efforts of your agency to curtail federal funds designated for North Carolina based on a perceived violation of law that was passed by Congress,” the GOP members wrote, demanding a response from King by Friday.
Here’s your assurance, you transphobic Conservative bigots: Fuck you.
True, but it also seems clear that whatever money we’re already sending them for education isn’t going there - seems like it’s all being spent on football, hookers, and The New Bigot Revised Translation of the New and Old Testaments.
Huhh? (from google…)
Title IX states that: No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be
denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.
Rethugs:
“There is no evidence to prove Congress intended Title IX to protect an individual’s internal sense of gender instead of his or her biological sex,”
Did your internal sense of gender override your biological condition when you decided to take a crap in the men’s room? Give me a freakin break!!!
Exactly. SCOTUS has ruled time and again that any government monies can have strings attached, so long as the strings are applied to everyone equally. Lick my … barn shit shovel, NC GOPers.
Oh, the law was passed by Congress. No wonder North Carolina thinks t shouldn’t apply to them. They only obey laws passed by The U.S. Congress. Do these reps moonlight as protestors holding up signs saying “Keep Government Out Of Medicare”?
