But in a document dated Aug. 12, USDA clarified that it does not require religious schools to submit written requests for a Title IX exemption in order to claim one.
There are several exceptions to Title IX – the federal law that prohibits sex-based discrimination – the department said, including one permitting an institution to be exempt “if there is a conflict between Title IX and a school’s governing religious tenets.”
Earlier this month, the Biden administration said it would grant such an exemption to Grant Park Christian Academy in Tampa, Fla., a private school of 56 pre-K through eighth-grade students from low-income families….
In a statement on Friday, Erica Steinmiller-Perdomo, legal counsel at the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), which had been representing Grant Park Christian Academy, said the administration was “rightly honoring” the beliefs of other religious schools across the nation.

Love you Pappa! Amen.
True, I’ve seen the same thing in my Elementary schools I’ve worked in.
Working in schools many years, I witness kids throwing their lunches in the trash daily.Especially after Michelle Obama improved lunchs with healthier food. Now we want to serve breakfast too?
I love this. I hope this trends enough to get people to wake up and realize that we do not want a generation of confused kids. Let’s keep it simple. God created us all equally with in his image and he is a perfect God who does not make mistakes. There for we all know that Transgender ideology and gender confusion is not of God but a fabricated lie from the devil. #TheDevilIsALiar he will steal and wreck everything in your life if your not careful. He has that exact goal since Adam and Eve. Just something to think about before you go searching for woke cookies y’all.
Thank you Lord God almighty.
Thank you Lord
Every inch of ground we gain against this hideous agenda is a huge victory !! Hallelujah in JESUS name
