Trumpkins are soo silly and stupid:
Three days after a pair of Republican lawmakers contacted the Board of Regents with concerns over the number of genders listed on admission applications to Iowa’s public universities, all three campuses updated their forms to offer just three options: male, female, or “prefer not to answer.”
“As part of President Trump’s Restoring Sanity Agenda, he has made it the official policy of the United States that there are only two genders — male and female,” Rep. Taylor Collins, R-Mediapolis, and Sen. Lynn Evans, R-Aurelia, wrote in their Feb. 10 letter to the board. “I have been made aware our regent universities use contrary practices and policies.”
The University of Iowa, for example, offered “at least seven different genders” on its admission applications, according to the letter from Collins and Evans.
“That is why today I am requesting the board adopt the same policy outlined by President Trump — there are only two genders,” according to the letter. “If we have recognized anything since the last election, Americans and Iowans are ready for a return to sanity, and that begins with recognizing this basic biological reality.”
In board documents made public Tuesday, regents indicated they already were looking into changes in recognition of executive orders and other federal directives.
“The regent universities began discussions in early February regarding the questions used to collect legal sex and self-identified gender on applications for admission,” according to a board proposal to update applications for the University of Iowa, Iowa State University, and University of Northern Iowa.
After receiving the letter from Collins and Evans last week, the universities on Feb. 13 updated their admission applications to just the two sex options — and a third nonanswer option.
