Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said Thursday his state will not comply with recently unveiled changes to Title IX by the Biden administration.
Florida rejects [President Bidens] attempt to rewrite Title IX, DeSantis said in a video posted to the social platform X. We will not comply, and we will fight back.
We are not gonna let Joe Biden try to inject men into womens activities, DeSantis continued. We are not gonna let Joe Biden undermine the rights of parents, and we are not gonna let Joe Biden abuse his constitutional authority to try to impose these policies on us here in Florida.
The Biden administration unveiled a final set of changes to Title IX last week that add protections for transgender students to the federal civil rights law on sex-based discrimination. The changes will take effect in early August.
At some point there has to be consequences for Republican governors for openly defying federal law, right?

Joe should send the armed forces to every public school in Florida that doesn't comply.

This is why Republicans keep saying things about small government and states rights.
What's the excuse for Biden not taking action against Abbott and DeSantis?
I hope the federal gov't has some way to punish him for this stance.iirc the mechanism is to cut federal education funding for schools not in compliance?
We are not gonna let Joe Biden try to inject men into womens activitiesOh, look, bigotry.
undermine the rights of parentsBut only the rights of parents that are also bigots. The ones that want to get their kids transitional care don't get rights.
fuck DeFascist^
Cool, not another red cent of Federal money for anything in Florida.
At some point there has to be consequences for Republican governors for openly defying federal law, right?Nope. It's the Magic R, somehow it's totally fine and dandy if a Republican does something. And with the joke of a Supreme Court we have these days it's going to stay that way for potentially the next 40 years.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) said Monday his state will not abide by the Biden administrations sweeping new changes to Title IX, the federal civil rights law prohibiting sex-based discrimination at government-funded schools.
In a letter to President Biden, Abbott railed against the revised rules which provide new protections for transgender students saying theyre illegal and the result of a ham-handed effort to impose a leftist belief onto Title IX, which Abbott said exceeds your authority as President.
Greg Abbott is not one to be outdone in the race to the bottom.Think of the optics!

I'll ask again: if these two can ignore federal regulations, why can't Democratic governors do likewise and start banning guns? Other than the lack of a spine, I mean.
Then no federal money for their schools? That's how it's supposed to work.Destroying education in their states is one of their goals.
