    Twenty-two Republican state attorneys general are suing the Biden administration for requiring schools that accept federal funds for free lunch programs to comply with gender and sex non-discrimination rules. To put it plainly: These 22 state attorneys generals seem to think schools should be allowed to discriminate against LGBTQ kids who use the Department of Agriculture’s free lunch programs.

    They want the money, but only to spend on their in-group. Dept of Ag needs to send them boxes with “thoughts and prayers” instead of money.

    They’ve “gone too far” telling schools to feed all hungry children? It boggles my mind that these people can’t see they’re the bad guys.

    Everybody’s outraged at those AGs and I’m out here dumbfounded as a non-American wondering… your administration had to literally put a distinct rule in place that mandated schools to treat all kids equally? Like, such a thing had to be explicitly written down and wasn’t already covered by constitutional human rights?? God damn
