A federal court has ordered a Christian college to comply with the Biden administration’s new orders on gender identity and cease separating dorms, bathrooms, and showers based on a student’s biological gender.

Judge Roseann Ketchmark refused to issue an injunction to halt the rules in a lawsuit brought by the College of the Ozarks, a private Christian college in Arkansas.

The ruling means students who were assigned male at birth but identify as female can legally shower with women while Ketchmark hears the case.

The College of the Ozarks is suing to overturn a Biden ad requiring that “agencies participating in the Fair Housing Act Assistance Program must either administer a law that explicitly prohibits discrimination because of gender identity and sexual orientation or must apply its fair housing law in a manner consistent with” a 2020 Supreme Court ruling that sexual orientation or gender identity are covered under sexual discrimination law.

“For decades, the College has prohibited male students from living in female dormitories, and vice versa, regardless of whether those students identify with their biological sex. The College likewise separates intimate spaces such as showers and bathrooms in its dormitories,” the school’s lawsuit reads.

The school claims Biden violated laws requiring public notice and comment when it issued the rule, and that the rule violates the school’s constitutional rights.

The Bostock case cited by the Supreme Court and the Biden administration centered on the rights of a public employee.  The school, and many others, claim that rules on gender identity should not apply to private businesses, schools, or properties.

  1. Ignorance! Biden thinks only of himself and not what is right or wrong, appeasing whoever in order to be liked and win votes.

  2. America was founded as a CHRISTIAN nation. It is time our Congress demands that our President, Joe Biden, begins to respect BIBLICAL teaching.

    1. The USA was founded on the CONSTITUTION. The reason they left the old place is because everything failed in all the other nations. The bi-babble and the CONSTITUTION are not compatible. Leave the magic, and witchcraft home and begone with it

  3. Fair Housing Act Assistance Program. This is why private schools, etc. should never accept money from the Federal government, because there will always be strings attached.

  4. I sincerely hope the College of the Ozarks wins their case. If someone is transgender or any other letter of the alphabet group why are they attending a Christian college anyway?

  5. So sick! What is wrong with Biden?
    Would he want his granddaughters
    being exposed to a “once male” female?

  6. what a pervert……….probably dreams he is one of the guys showering with the women……what a poor excuse for a pres.

  7. How can we be wasting so much time and mental energy on such stupidity? We are all born with a set of genitalia which determines our sex. Do we really have to legislate where we can shower or relieve ourselves? Duh???

  8. women are vey selecive in their sexuality and you nutty sob why would you ….you freak and feele rand horrible person do such a ting biden i think you have totally lost all your sense. we know you are half gone now you have provein it.

    1. They’re liberals. Once the power bit is in their teeth, they’ll gin up all kinds of ridiculous policies. Half of that behavior entails their angering and disillusioning conservatives. They relish rubbing the noses of republicans and religious figures in their usurped, Unconstitutional authority. Once someone has had their fill of these shenanigans, and applies a well-aimed punch upon the runny noses of these haughty, arrogant whiners, they’ll grab a lawyer on your butt with a nose so big, there have to be counterweights placed on the opposite side of the earth to keep it from wobbling.

  9. What is up?? I though that the libs liked a hundred different ‘sexes’. Heck a hundred different bathrooms, numbered 1-100! Pick you own sex.

  10. The court dismissed the case because there is no active case or controversy. Only if the school disobeys the order, denies a student’s demand under the order and then gets sued. then there will be a case and controversy. Imagine, however, if no one makes the demand. Then there is no case and controversy. Since this is a Christian school, there may be no one who even makes the demand.

    Courts don’t act on political grievances. There actually must be parties in conflict.

  11. Congress (And the Government in general) have no control over a religion . “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or preventing the free exercise thereof” says the Constitution and also I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic and also to obey the lawful orders of my superiors to the best of my ability when I went into the U.S. Army. This order though it is from the “Commander in Chief” is unlawful. It is more clear than ever that he is in his dotage and not fit to command by his own dictates that he thinks supercede the Law of the land!

  12. It seems as though Joe Biden is doing his very best to force another Revolutionary War, of the American people against a repressive central government. Does he uinderstand that he and all of his followers will be the ones up against the wall, or hanging from a lamp post if he is successful? Government – WAKE UP!! You are now, and have been for years backing yourselves into a corner, from which there is no escape!
