Protecting Women and Girls from Biden’s Dangerous Title IX Overhaul
In April of this year, President Biden’s Department of Education finalized a Title IX rule that threatens to destroy protections for women’s sports and put young women and girls at risk by allowing transgendered athletes on women’s teams and in their locker rooms and bathrooms.
It’s a scientific fact: Men and women have biological differences that make competing on the same sports team unfair and potentially dangerous. Allowing biological men to compete in women’s sports not only takes opportunities away from hardworking female athletes, but also places them in a position where they could more easily be injured.
By allowing biological men into women’s locker rooms and bathrooms, this rule takes away spaces from women and girls where they have a right to feel safe and puts them at risk. No woman or girl should have to share a bathroom with or change in front of a biological male. Educational institutions have a duty to protect the safety of the women and girls that attend them, and ensure those women have the same access to athletic and educational opportunities as men – this rule shirks those responsibilities for the sake of appealing to radical woke activists.
Last week, House Republicans passed a bill that would reverses the Biden Administration’s Title IX rule relating to Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Sex in Education Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance so schools and educational institutions can continue to uphold the safety and educational and athletic opportunities of women and girls.
Prayers continue to be with President Trump
As its now been over a week since the horrific assassination attempt on President Trump, our nation is still grappling with the shock and disbelief of such a violent act. This kind of political violence is utterly unacceptable and must be condemned by all. Our prayers continue to be with President Trump, the rally attendees, and the families affected by this senseless act. It’s imperative that we, as a society, cannot allow this level of hostility to persist. We need to lower the temperature of our political discourse and restore some much-needed civility.
Congress will be launching a full investigation to identify any security lapses and provide the American people with the answers they deserve. This week, Members of Congress had a phone call briefing with the Secret Service Chief, who refused to answer any questions. Her lack of leadership and transparency, both with Congress and the public, is unacceptable. Our citizens and elected officials deserve better. She must resign.
But beyond that, we need to recognize the role that inflammatory rhetoric plays in escalating tensions. Leaders from all sides must call for a cooling of heated political talk. We can passionately disagree on issues, but it must be done in a way that respects our democratic process and the safety of everyone involved. Our democracy thrives on healthy debate, not on threats and violence.
No figure in recent history has faced the level of vilification that President Trump has endured. From the media to Hollywood elites, political figures, and even the legal system, the constant framing of his election as a threat to democracy has only served to inflame divisions. This rhetoric is not only false but also dangerous. It’s time to turn down this harmful dialogue.
We must remember that we are all Americans first, and it is vital that we engage in respectful debate.
Let’s move forward with a focus on unity and constructive solutions to the challenges facing our nation.
