Christian College Fights Biden Directive That Allows Men to Live In Women's Dorms

A small Missouri college is taking the Biden administration to court over a directive that allows biological men who "identify\u201d as women to live in female-only dormitories.\xa0\xa0\nThe College of the Ozarks, a Christian school with just over 1,500 students, filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration in April after the Department of Housing and Urban Development issued a directive requiring colleges and universities to open dorm rooms and other sex-specific spaces to individuals of the opposite sex.\nThe directive came after President Joe Biden issued his \u201cExecutive Order on Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation.\u201d\xa0\n\u201cWe're seeing an example that from our point of view is out of touch with reality,\u201d\xa0Dr. Jerry Davis, president of the College of the Ozarks in Point Outlook, Missouri, said of the directive. He added that the order will \u201cdo irreparable harm to a school like this. And it seems to me that somebody is going to have to stand up and say what this really is \u2026 . It's an overreach [of government].\u201d\xa0\nThe College of the Ozarks is represented by the Christian legal organization Alliance Defending Freedom. Davis and Ryan Bangert, Alliance Defending Freedom attorney, join \u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast\u201d to discuss the lawsuit and the broader implications of the case.\xa0\nWe also cover these stories:\xa0\n\nThe Senate Rules Committee marks up the Democrat-backed voter legislation known as \u201cThe For the People Act.\u201d\n\nDemand for gasoline skyrockets after a ransomware attack on Coastal Pipeline.\n\nNew York Gov.
