DeVos Vows to Withhold Desegregation Aid to Schools Over Transgender Athletes

The Education Department is preparing to withhold millions of dollars from Connecticut schools over their refusal to withdraw from an athletic conference that allows transgender students to compete on teams that correspond with their gender identity.
The move to withhold about $18 million intended to help schools desegregate could have national implications for both transgender athletes and students of color.
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has championed similar school choice programs for decades, and President Trump has highlighted the issue in his re-election campaign.
But that drive is colliding with the administration’s intent to broadly deny legal protections to transgender Americans. The Education Department has already withdrawn Obama administration guidance that encouraged schools to allow transgender students to choose bathrooms that match their gender identity.

We've discussed this issue in the Politics section several times.
How do you justify a man who is, on average, 1 foot taller and 100 pounds heavier than the rest of the players playing Women's Aussie Rules Football? He is a woman in name and hair only.
The same applies to the women's world record holder for powerlifting. There is no way in hell a biological woman will ever beat his records.
My niece is great at martial arts and has won many championships, even against boys in the under 10s category. In the 10 and older classes, they only fight their own gender.
Laila Ali (Mohammed Ali's daughter) was the greatest women's boxer ever. Imagine, if you will, Mike Tyson growing his hair out and calling himself Tiffany and wanting to fight her. According to liberals, this would be totally fine.
Joe Rogan got into a lot of trouble from the left for talking about the "trans" woman MMA fighter who nearly killed her opponent.
Of course, liberals demand that the only conversations that worship "trans" people, unless they are conservative trans people.
