The Biden administration cannot enforce new protections for LGBTQ+ students in Ohio, Virginia and four other states, a federal judge ruled Monday, becoming the latest court to rebuff efforts to expand the scope of a decades-old law that prohibits sex-based discrimination.
US District Judge Danny Reeves said in a 93-page ruling that the new protections – which are set to take effect August 1 – cannot be enforced in Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Virginia and West Virginia while a lawsuit brought by those states’ attorneys general plays out.
The new rules require schools to protect students from all sex discrimination, including sexual violence and sex-based harassment, expanding that definition to include discrimination based on pregnancy or pregnancy-related conditions like childbirth, termination of pregnancy or recovery from pregnancy. Compliance with the new rules is required to receive federal education aid.
Trump cut taxes by $9 billion of which the wealthy pocketed most of it.
Non wealthy people had their taxes cut for a time, but raised permanently. The trump tax cuts were a wealth transfer from the working class to the owner class.
It’s easy to cut taxes on the poor. You raise the non-taxed income limit then the upper limits of each of the tax brackets. That would give virtually all of the benefit of the tax cuts to the 99.9%. Across the board tax cuts and corporate tax cuts are designed to transfer wealth to the wealthy.
In perpetuity. The meager cuts for Joe and Jane average has a ten year maximum.
