[July 3, 2025] The University of Pennsylvania, UPenn, has formally, but grudgingly, agreed to bring its institution into compliance with Title IX of Federal Law.
The mainstream media is describing this as a power play by President Trump. But it is the position of the Trump Administration that allowing men to compete in women’s sports and allowing access to women’s private spaces constitutes discrimination against women in academic programs. Title IX bars that, so the Administration is enforcing Federal Law.
“Moving forward, the university will not allow trans athletes to compete in correspondence with their gender identity.” – Axios, July 1, 2025
Everyone with any common sense knows that the whole “gender identity” schtick is a scam and probably violates long-established laws. And it’s morally wrong.
“Our commitment to ensuring a respectful and welcoming environment for all of our students is unwavering,” university president J. Larry Jameson said in a statement.
“At the same time, we must comply with federal requirements, including executive orders, and NCAA eligibility rules, so our teams and student-athletes may engage in competitive intercollegiate sports.” – UPenn President J. Larry Jameson
In addition, and this is what many Americans were happy to hear, UPenn will retroactively strip transgender swimmer Lia Thomas of his (incorrectly called “her” in the Axios article) records and titles as part of a deal with the U.S. Department of Education.
This matters because President Trump threatened to withhold $175 million in federal funds unless the school barred transgender athletes from women’s sports. We are about to witness more colleges doing the same. Some are calling this stripping of men of their titles in women’s sports the Lia Thomas factor.
Those who are celebrating this should be cautious. The fact that the federal government is saying “trans” athletes is an error. There is no such thing as “trans.” Those who claim to be trans people actually have a mental illness and need our help.
Riley Gaines, who competed against Thomas and lost, is the real hero in this story, and we need to give her the credit she deserves. She is a champion for women and did so in the face of severe criticism, threats, and attacks on her person.
While this issue is certainly not the biggest in America, it is the first that we can claim a victory on as we turn the tide on the Woke DEI bizarro world. When lies are not just allowed but supported by the government and other trustworthy institutions, like a college, then we are in for bad times.
Are we seeing a reversal? I think the answer is yes.

Please read my books:
We’ve lost the universities to the evil of hedonism and the anti-Christian Marxist ideological virus.
Off topic, but I’ll throw it out here anyway. The American people won a victory today. The Big Beautiful Bill (BBB) reached the finish line today, with the U.S. House repassing the bill 218-214. From The House sends GOP’s ‘big, beautiful bill’ to Trump’s desk in major win for Republicans. 🙏 Yeah!!!!!!!!!
👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀💪❤
I’m not tired yet of winning.
Like Charlie Kirk says, “College is a scam.” 🤦♀️
“Darn it, caught again.” I am sure that is what the so called leadership of UPenn was thinking when the DOJ came calling. And they will do everything and I mean everything to thwart any investigation into their repeated, purposeful, and deadly antisemitism and racism. Others nailed it when they wrote that Woke is a religion to these people because they have rejected Christianity and now they must have a substitute, plus their narcissism demands they play the “I’m superior to you all” shtick. Nothing like a little red Marxist to try and do anything to get away with destroying their enemies. “The ends justify the means,” is their motto. And never forget that is so.
Jameson, the newest UPenn president is a Liberal through and through. This, he cannot be trusted. Watch him. That’s my advice to the DOJ.
Agreed. In fact, there are very few administrators or professors that can be trusted with carrying out the law.
Assign him a “commissar.” I’m sure if we call it that, as a Marxist, he will like it.
Courage: Riley Gaines

And here, again, Gen. Satterfield gives her the recognition she well deserves.

The only way to ensure compliance by so-called institutions of higher learning is both replacing their president and boards of trustees with people who reject the Woke mind virus. And then have severe penalties for non-compliance to include employment termination without benefits. This is a mild draconian version of what it will take. Otherwise a continuous audit by those who can be trusted. Neither of these are likely, so the antisemitism and racial/sexual discrimination will continue.
Shawn, good points, especially that they will only come into compliance with federal law and American Values (I will add) is by force. They will cheat whenever they can. The reason is the Wokiness is so engrained that it is a full-on religion to them.
GRUDGINGLY 💯
