The Biden Administration’s Latest Assault on Religious Freedom Cannot Stand

College of the Ozarks has become the latest target of attempts to violate religious freedom and redefine sex. Unless the Supreme Court intervenes, it won’t be the last.

The government can’t force schools to open women’s dormitories, bedrooms, and showers to men. That is why College of the Ozarks, a private religious college in southern Missouri represented by Alliance Defending Freedom, recently asked the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold that commonsense and constitutionally protected freedom.

The college — like many private, faith-based colleges and universities — maintains policies in adherence with its religious views on issues of sex and sexuality. One of these policies related to housing requires men and women to live in separate dormitories. This policy places the small college at odds with the full force of the federal government, which seems hell-bent on redefining the word “sex” from its original meaning of biologically distinct male and female to include sexual orientation and gender identity.
