Food fight for religious schools resolved. Religious schools need not follow new Biden administration Title IX guidelines in order to receive federal funding for school lunch programs, according to new guidance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The announcement comes amid a major battle that somehow wraps up gender identity and cafeteria food.
This food fight started when the USDA announced in May that it "will interpret the prohibition on discrimination based on sex found in Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, and in the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 … to include discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity." This brings it in line with a Biden administration executive order issued last year.
