DOE Announces It Will Withhold Federal Lunch Funds from Public School Systems That Do Not Allow Students to Use Restrooms Designated for Other Gender

The Biden Administration’s Department of Education has announced that it will be withholding federal lunch funds from public school systems that do not allow students to use restrooms and other private facilities that are designated for the other gender.

As reported by The Federalist, an Education Department spokesman said that, after the initial press release announcing the policy earlier this month, official rules outlining the new policy will be implemented in June.

The new policy would affect the allocation of funds from the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), which feeds nearly 30 million students every day, as well as up to 100,000 public schools, private schools, and residential care facilities. The new rules declare that any establishment that utilizes federal food funding such as food stamps must allow men who believe they are women to use women’s facilities, including restrooms, showers, locker rooms, and sleeping areas. Facilities must also force their staff to use “proper” pronouns when referring to so-called “transgender” individuals.
