But as is usually the case, Donald Trump is special. He appears to have broken the Democrat Party for sure. But because he is not worried about reelection, he is enjoying a kind of freedom where he does not have to examine his every word and deed. It drives the left crazy and is glorious to watch.

They are not only admitting men, but they are also allowing men into women's dorms, bathrooms, showers, and so on. In a historically all-women school, it would be hard to do otherwise - and it's still a problem under Title IX, regardless.]]>Tue, 05 May 2026 12:13:36 -0400<![CDATA[Ward Clark]]><![CDATA[Education]]><![CDATA[Title IX]]><![CDATA[Transgender]]><![CDATA[Trump Administration]]>https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/05/05/biological-males-at-smith-college-trigger-new-title-ix-investigation-n2202016
