(SRN NEWS) – Democrats are grappling with how to handle transgender politics and policy following a devastating loss to President Trump and the Republican Party. Democratic Congressman Seth Moulton of Massachusetts says “There are just a number of issues where we’re out of touch.” According to AP VoteCast, more than half of voters said support for transgenderism in government and society has gone too far. About 2-in-10 said support has not gone far enough and another 2-in-10 said it’s about right. Among Trump voters, 85 percent said transgender support has gone too far.
A federal appeals court has ruled that an Indiana law banning sex-change operations on children can remain in effect. The decision by the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found that the law’s restrictions are within the purview of the Indiana General Assembly and do not infringe on the constitutional rights of transgender children, their parents or medical providers. A growing number of states are passing laws that prevent anyone under the age of 18 from undergoing a sex-change operation to allow them to live as the opposite gender.
President Trump says he will use federal funding as a means of purging America’s schools of wokeness. On the campaign trail, the president vowed to keep boys out of girls’ sports and end classroom lessons on gender identity and sexual orientation. Mr. Trump’s education plan pledges to cut federal dollars to schools that defy him on these issues. Perhaps his most ambitious promise is to shut down the Department of Education entirely, a goal of conservative politicians for decades, saying it has been infiltrated by left-wing radicals.
The five-year campaign to rebuild Notre Dame cathedral has never been short of cash. Nearly one billion euros in donations were pledged within days of the 2019 fire that ravaged the most famous church in France and now there’s a surplus. Officials say 140 million euros still remain from the unprecedented outpouring of funds. That extra, given by both billionaires and small donors, will support future preservation work on the 861-year-old cathedral. Notre Dame is set to re-open to the public next month — just in time for Christmas celebrations.
