When Joe Biden decided to issue a presidential proclamation declaring Easter 2024 as the “Transgender Day of Visibility,” it served as the latest evidence of his pro-LGBT agenda, where our children have become targets for indoctrination into a life of sexual deviance and abuse.
Almost immediately, progressives and their pro-LGBT allies jumped to Biden’s defense, saying that his proclamation falling on Easter was just a coincidence because the made-up Transgender holiday just happened to fall on the same day (via ChristianPost.com):
As President Joe Biden faces rebuke for proclaiming Easter Sunday as “Transgender Day of Visibility,” White House spokesperson Andrew Bates lashed out at those who found it offensive to Christians and disrespectful of Jesus Christ, saying such criticisms are “cruel” and “hateful.”
Biden sparked outrage among politicians, pastors and laity nationwide, yet others swiftly defended the president, noting that the trans celebration, made up 15 years ago and recognized by the Biden administration, happened to fall on the holiest day of the Christian calendar, celebrated by over 2 billion Christians worldwide.
“Sadly, it’s unsurprising politicians are seeking to divide and weaken our country with cruel, hateful, and dishonest rhetoric. President Biden will never abuse his faith for political purposes or for profit,” Bates added, later noting that Biden has celebrated the secular observance each year of his presidency.
In one of several follow-up posts on X Sunday, Bates added: “Easter can fall on any Sunday from late March to mid-April. So basically, Easter falling on Trans Day of Visibility is no different from when Hannukah fell on Thanksgiving in 2013.” (Emphasis mine)
Laying aside the lame defense that Easter just happened to fall on the now-annual Transgender Day of Visibility, there was no prior precedent for issuing a presidential proclamation to “honor” sexually deviant people for their “extraordinary courage and contributions” before Joe Biden occupied the White House.
So, why did he really decide to use Easter 2024 as an opportunity to issue his proclamation? Because from the very beginning of his presidency, Joe Biden has made the LGBT agenda and the sexual abuse of children a key part of his administration.
Like Obama before him, Joe Biden has been a cheerleader for the radical LGBT agenda, and he has done many of the same things Obama did to advance it, such as using the Department of Education to focus on the indoctrination and sexual abuse of children.
In May 2016, after determining that “discrimination” against transgender students could be fought as a civil rights issue, Obama’s Department of Education (DOE) held a meeting with a group called Equality Michigan where the DOE committed itself to stay “aggressively engaged” in the fight to allow children to use whichever bathroom they choose promoting the sexual abuse of children.
In an early example of how this aggressive engagement would shape the LGBT narrative, Equality Michigan was granted a meeting with the Michigan State Board of Education to help educators draft a transgender guidance document designed to pressure Michigan schools into allowing children — without parental or doctoral input — to choose their gender, name, pronouns, bathrooms, and locker rooms:
“The responsibility for determining a student’s gender identity rests with the student. Outside confirmation from medical or mental health professionals or documentation of legal changes, is not needed.” (Emphasis mine)
During Obama’s presidency, Education Secretary, John B. King, Jr. suggested in a keynote address to the Education Writers Association that the Department of Education would incorporate a never-before-used interpretation of Title IX to bully states into correcting what he termed “a terrible mistake” concerning so-called discrimination against transgenders.
Title IX protects students and school faculty from discrimination based on sex in education programs that receive federal financial assistance. If schools don’t comply with Title IX, they risk losing this money. It is enforced by the DOE’s Office of Civil Rights, and uses language similar to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act:
No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.
Fast forward to May 2021 when Joe Biden ordered the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the U.S. Department of Education to expand the definition of the federal civil-rights statute banning sex discrimination in federally funded education programs to include gender identity in order to force public and private schools to comply. States that failed to do as he wishes were to be taken to court.
Biden put some muscle behind his plan to indoctrinate and sexually abuse children via the Department of Education in October 2021 with the appointment of Catherine Lhamon as assistant secretary for civil rights at the U.S. Department of Education.
Lhamon served as assistant secretary for civil rights during the Obama administration before being promoted to chair of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. During her tenure under Obama, she wrote a letter instructing public schools that they were in violation of federal law to prohibit students from using the restroom or locker room that matched their gender identity.
In April 2022, Joe Biden’s Department of Justice sent a letter to all 50 state attorneys general threatening them with legal action if they did anything to prevent minors from receiving so-called gender-affirming care.
Biden also used the “reform Title IX” approach to advance the transgender agenda through the sexual abuse of children. In January 2022, Biden announced plans to enshrine the indoctrination and sexual abuse of children via a plethora of Title IX policy changes ensuring equal protections for transgender students, including their “right” to access school bathrooms that match their gender identity and participate in school sports.
Since the Obama years, public schools have been “grooming” children for sexual abuse. In 2014, the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office published a lengthy report warning that public school employees were “grooming” students “with the intent to perpetrate future sexual abuse or misconduct.”
An example of what this “grooming” looks like was discovered in 2022 when teachers in the Eau Claire Area School District in Wisconsin participated in pro-transgender training where they were taught to embrace gender identity, safe spaces, and equity along with the importance of keeping parents from knowing if their child claims to be transgender because, according to the training materials, parents are “not entitled to know” such things about their children. (Emphasis mine)
Joe Biden — and, unfortunately, Donald Trump and a few so-called conservatives — are vigorously promoting the government-sanctioned and soon-mandated LGBT agenda in order to make it easy and legal to sexually exploit and abuse our children. His “Transgender Day of Visibility” proclamation on Easter Sunday is just another step in that direction.
