The Trump administration has launched an investigation into Smith College—one of the seven historical all-women colleges in the American Northeast.
Why the investigation?
Well, Smith College is and has been since 2015—admitting biological males.
The “seven sisters” have been granted an exemption, going all the way back to the 1970’s to Title IX legislation. They were allowed to be restrictive as women’s colleges.
The Trump administration’s basically saying you can’t have it both ways—that is: claim this historic exemption or you can admit biological males.
President Trump made the point very clear point in his second inaugural address:
He said: “As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders: male and female.”
I will argue that was one of the most important and courageous statements a President of the United States has made in recent years. To his credit, he’s been pushing this through.
It’s a necessary step towards the restoration of cultural sanity and for that clarity.
