In a social media video, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis declared non-compliance with new rules aimed at protecting LGBTQ+ students from discrimination. He rejected Joe Biden's bid to alter Title IX, affirming Florida's defiance and determination to resist. The Department of Education released Title IX rules this month, aiming to prevent discrimination and harassment against LGBTQ+ students. These rules are based on the legal premise that anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination is a form of sex-based discrimination. However, DeSantis addressed the issue in his recent video posted on Twitter. He said, “We are not gonna let Joe Biden try to inject men into women’s activities.” Apart from DeSantis, various state officials have also urged schools to defy federal guidelines on LGBTQ+ issues. Louisiana's Superintendent of Education Cade Brumley has recently advised schools to ignore the rules, citing potential conflicts with existing state bills. Similar sentiments were echoed by officials in South Carolina and Oklahoma, with concerns raised about the impact on women's sports and equality. The Alliance Defending Freedom vowed legal action against the guidelines, arguing they disregard biological realities. DeSantis, known for anti-LGBTQ+ measures, has supported laws restricting LGBTQ+ rights in schools, including bans on discussions and gender-affirming healthcare. DeSantis should stop scoring political points at the cost of student welfare. #Students & Youth Culture
