College of the Ozarks Suing Biden Over Policy Placing Biological Males in Women’s Dorms

“College of the Ozarks holds the belief that biological sex is not changeable and operates its dorms accordingly.”

Remember when the left claimed that Trump was destroying norms? What is the Biden administration doing here?

The Daily Wire reports:

College Of The Ozarks Sues Biden Over Executive Order That Puts Biological Males In Female Dorms

College of the Ozarks is suing President Joe Biden over his anti-discrimination executive order that would force the school to abandon its religious principles in favor of left-wing gender politics.

Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), a religious liberty legal group, filed a lawsuit in the Western District of Missouri on behalf of the College of the Ozarks, claiming that Biden’s anti-discrimination act “requires private religious colleges to place biological males into female dormitories and assign them as females’ roommates.”

The college has assigned dormitories and separated “intimate spaces,” such as showers and bathrooms, based on biological sex and does not wish to alter that practice. College of the Ozarks holds the belief that biological sex is not changeable and operates its dorms accordingly.

Biden’s executive order would ban the college from continuing that practice, according to the lawsuit. The suit claims that the order violates the school’s First Amendment-protected rights to tell students about its religious-informed residence hall policies.

“Occupancy and access in the college’s residence halls are separated by biological sex, not identity, and that residence in student housing depends on compliance with the student code of conduct, including the commitment to avoid all sexual relations outside of a marriage between one man and one woman,” the lawsuit reads.

The theory is that an individual should have freedom to explore life without regard to biological sex. As a practical matter, one must consider the feelings of the other affected students, who may not feel comfortable sharing “intimate spaces” with someone of the opposite sex. If everyone involved volunteers for such a shared living experience, I would not object. Even then, there are the risks that the Title IX imposes upon schools to protect students against sex based harassment. The traditional approach is to bar people of the opposite sex from certain spaces. If a female student feels sexually harassed by the presence of a biological male in her bathroom, then the school has a Title IX potential liability.

Stop using the language of the destroyers.

It’s not a “belief,” it’s a scientific fact.
The opposite position is not a “belief” either — it’s a “fantasy.”

    You beat me to it, henrybowman.

    Facts can be beliefs though e.g. I believe this chair will hold my weight, and the fact is it will.

    The problem is the Left’s facts are beliefs which don’t accord with reality e.g. gender is a choice, unless you’re homosexual, in which case it’s fixed. That then leads into the Scottish rapists issue. If a male rapist claims to be female can the government put him (or should that be her?) in a jail with his preferred prey?
