Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) took issue Tuesday with a new school lunch resolution offered by fellow Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.).

The resolution, initially introduced in July by a series of senators and placed on the calendar last week, disagrees with recent guidance by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in relation to sex discrimination.

The USDA had said it is updating its policies regarding discrimination based on sex to include sexual orientation and gender identity, in accordance with President Biden’s executive order on the matter in 2021.

Schools that receive funds from the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) will have to have policies that prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity and investigate any forms of alleged discrimination based on those factors or risk losing the funds.
