The Dr. Jekyll To Mr. Hyde Transformation Of Title IX
Forbes ^ | April 29, 2016 | George Leef

...

Title IX has now become a “juggernaut” in the words of NYU law professor Richard Epstein. He explains in this Hoover Institution article that extremely zealous bureaucrats have abused the law (specifically, the Administrative Procedure Act) to impose their own ideas of what the language “be subjected to discrimination” means. They have managed to turn it into a justification for federal intervention into every aspect of college life that somehow involves sex.

Epstein highlights the amazing case of Colorado State – Pueblo student Grant Neal, who was suspended by the school after a consensual sexual relationship. The woman who was supposedly victimized by him actually decries the case and says “He’s a good guy.” But she isn’t the one who made the complaint. Another woman did. Despite the laughable weakness of the case against Neal, the school decided to punish him anyway because, Epstein points out, that’s the way to avoid trouble with the aggressive federal bureaucrats in the Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR).

For more detail about this ridiculous case as well as the good news that Neal is suing the government, read this article in Reason.

Epstein also shows how flagrant the OCR’s overreach is, since “Title IX’s prohibition is directed towards the educational institutions themselves, not to their enrolled students.” If Congress wanted to extend control over actions by students to the Department of Education, it could do so, but never has. This is another example of the cost we pay for allowing “administrative law” where bureaucrats get to write and enforce their own laws.

Scratch the thin layer of paint off a leftist and the fascist underneath will be reveled. It’s why all leftists policy initiatives devolve into innocents being harassed and lives being ruined.

“The Dr. Jekyll To Mr. Hyde Transformation Of Title IX”

This is what you get when you have people in charge who are agenda driven. This is not unexpected because without a respect of the law, agenda driven people, even with the best of intentions, will abuse and ignore written agreements in order to get things done “its for your own good” mentality. OBAMA’s executive edits are a good example of this.

Title IX will collapse into incomprehensible gibberish when the first male who “identifies” as a female demands a scholarship to play on a girls team, and vice versa.

We all know the dangers of “second hand” hickey’s. Read the Reason article linked at the Forbes site.

Title IX was co-written by Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Hell), still screwing America from the grave.

That’s what’s so amazing about the baffled feminist non response to transgenderism. You got your crazy men saying,”All I’ve got to do is be castrated and hormonally deranged, and I’m the same as you! “ -— which is radical misogyny, woman as defective man. Next trannies winning beauty contests, drag queens forcing women out as models and entertainers. Then beefy men with bad hairdos pushing into women’s athletics.

Title IX collapses into a heap of garbled fragments.

And the womyns’ movement is still saying “What??”

That’s because it all comes down to what one self-identifies as. The illegal aliens self-identify as Americans and thereby get to claim all of American privileges as rightfully theirs and say they are “more American” than rightful citizens (naturalized or natural born). The sex-confused male can self-identify as a female and mutilate and cosmetically change himself and say he is now “more female” than a natural female. The homosexuals can “marry” and adopt children and say their “family” is more authentic than a natural man-woman marriage.

It’s all part of the same cloth, the one the feminists belong to. No wonder they can’t respond coherently.
