Education Secretary Miguel Cardona defended his new federal rules requiring schools to let students use the bathroom of their choice, saying he’s defending the rights of transgender students who have been “under attack in our country.”
Ms. Hyde-Smith kicked off the exchange by saying the new rule flips Title IX of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 on its head by giving “biological male” students the ability to use girls’ bathrooms and locker rooms through transgender access policies.“Do you agree that they’re eliminating those safe spaces when they allow transgenders to choose the bathroom and the locker room that they want to go in?” Ms. Hyde-Smith asked.
“So when a biological male goes into the locker room with biological females, you think that is a safe space for those young girls?” the senator asked. Ms. Hyde-Smith tried again: “But biological males going into a girls’ locker room and a girls’ bathroom, you have no problem with that whatsoever and you consider them being safe in all circumstances?”He said the rules are intended to help students who “unfortunately historically in our country have been under attack.”
