Florida's Department of Education issued a memo to all school districts in late July clarifying that they were not needed to comply with the Biden administration's proposed changes to and interpretations of Title IX and Title VII.

Those changes would require schools that get federal funding to enable boys and girls access to opposite sex bathrooms if they identify that way. Under Biden's Title VII interpretation, funding would be withheld from lunch programs that do not comply.

The local teachers union, though supported by the National Education Association which contributed heavily to the Biden campaign, then issued their own contradictory guidance in a memo obtained by The Post Millennial. In so doing, they showed that the "guidance" issued by the Biden administration had in truth, been enacted as federal law, which it has not been.

"I am concerned about the safety of our children in Clay County," announced Tanya Kacsan of Moms for Liberty to The Post Millennial. "I am also concerned that the union is providing inaccurate information to teachers that does not align with guidance sent by Manny Diaz, Commissioner of Education."

Commissioner of Education Manny Diaz stated that the guidance from the Biden administration "interpret discrimination on the basis of sex to include discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity," which was done based on a Supreme Court ruling which discovered that an employer could not tell a biological-male employee he could not wear a dress to work because that would be discrimination on the basis of sex.

"This guidance attempts to vastly expand the application of Title IX and related statutes and regulations," Diaz wrote, and it does so, he explained to schools, without consulting Florida agencies that specifically have issued direction against that expansion.

Diaz wanted to make clear to the school that the "guidance" composed by the federal education and agriculture agencies "are not binding law, do not create any new legal obligations, and should not be treated as governing law." That guidance, Diaz explained to schools, has even been acknowledged by the USDOE as under litigation, representing the administration's "interpretation" of Title IX and Title VII.

"As such," Diaz cautions, "you should not treat the USDOE or USDA guidance documents as binding or otherwise modify your practices or procedures based on these documents.

"Specifically," he continues, "for example, nothing in these guidance documents requires you to give biological males who identify as female access to female bathrooms, locker rooms, or dorms; to assign biological males who identify as female to female rooms on school field trips' or to allow biological males who identify as female to compete on female sports teams."
