Leora Levy Condemns Biden Administration Withholding Federal School Funds Over Trans Policy

GREENWICH, CT - President Biden and the Department of Agriculture recently announced plans to withhold federal funding for schools that don’t follow the Biden Administration’s interpretation of sex discrimination as outlined in Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. This policy includes public schools located in states that have passed legislation banning individuals of the opposite sex from using locker rooms and restrooms. Republican candidate for Senate Leora Levy issued the following statement calling this aberrant policy a bullying tactic designed to further divide Americans in the months leading up to midterms.

Statement from Leora Levy on withholding funds for school lunches:

“Biden and his administration are once again going too far, aligning with the far Left and further dividing Americans instead of listening to parents and putting our children first. By threatening to revoke the funds to feed low-income children, Biden is actually forcing schools to allow boys to compete in girls’ sports and strong-arming schools into teaching young children about controversial sexual ideologies, while allowing children to go hungry as a result.

“Biden and his Democrat allies like Dick Blumenthal choose to push a progressive agenda at the expense of our kids, plain and simple. Talking to parents, it’s evident that most of them are uncomfortable with the idea of age-inappropriate issues being taught in our classrooms and leftist social agendas being pushed in our schools. This policy is just another example of Biden abusing his position as President, bullying parents, causing unnecessary friction and division. When I am elected to the Senate, I will put a stop to our children being used as pawns to further a progressive political agenda.”
