A Missouri Christian university is suing the Biden administration over a federal directive that its lawsuit claims requires religious schools to open their dormitories and showers based on "gender identity.”

The College of the Ozarks, a four-year liberal arts college in Point Lookout, filed a lawsuit in response to a February order from the Department of Housing and Urban Development that forces any entities that receive federal dollars covered by the Fair Housing Act to place transgender-ide ntified biological males into female dormitories and assign them as females’ roommates.

The lawsuit argues that the rule forces religious schools to violate their religious beliefs and states that the order was issued "without notice or the opportunity for public comment." The lawsuit contends that the policy was issued without considering alternative policies that "respect the interests of private religious colleges."

1 The simple solution is for the College of the Ozarks to quit receiving federal dollars. Problem solved. They can then house their students in any manner they wish.

2 True Bill but they shouldn't HAVE to. They depend on federal dollars, no doubt, as this is a small, underfunded college. I agree; the government shouldn't be in this business at all - but it is and it shouldn't be forcing this on those who it has addicted to the narcotic of federal dollars.

3 Why should ANY college accept federal dollars? Greed is a reason, but it's not a good one. Our federal government is treated as a piggy bank, a slush fund for every grifter in the country to go suck up some free money. Every time a problem arises, the answer is to suck some money out of the federal government and do something useless with it.

4 I can't disagree with any of that Bill.
