WEBVTT - Albert Mohler: Towards Moral Sanity

0:00:01.440 --> 0:00:03.640
<v Speaker 1>This is Albert Moeler for town hall dot com. The

0:00:03.680 --> 0:00:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Trump administration has launched an investigation into Smith College, one

0:00:07.440 --> 0:00:10.879
<v Speaker 1>of the seven historical all women's colleges in the American Northeast.

0:00:11.080 --> 0:00:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Why the investigation, well, Smith College is and has been

0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:18.880
<v Speaker 1>since twenty fifteen, admitting biological males. The Seven Sisters have

0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:21.239
<v Speaker 1>been granted an exemption going all the way back to

0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:24.520
<v Speaker 1>the nineteen seventies to Title nine legislation, they were allowed

0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:27.960
<v Speaker 1>to be restrictive as women's colleges. The Trump administration is

0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:29.960
<v Speaker 1>basically saying, you can't have it both ways. That is,

0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:34.000
<v Speaker 1>claim the historic exemption or you can admit biological males.

0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:36.600
<v Speaker 1>President Trump made the point very clear in his second

0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:38.960
<v Speaker 1>inaugural address. He said, quote, as of today, it will

0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:41.839
<v Speaker 1>henceforth be the official policy of the United States government

0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:45.000
<v Speaker 1>that there are only two genders, male and female. End quote.

0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:47.040
<v Speaker 1>I will argue that that statement was one of the

0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:50.000
<v Speaker 1>most important and courageous statements of President of the United

0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:52.200
<v Speaker 1>States has made in recent years. To his credit, he's

0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:54.800
<v Speaker 1>been pushing this through. It's a necessary step towards the

0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:58.560
<v Speaker 1>restoration of cultural sanity, and for that clarity,
