On the Friday before Christmas, the Biden Administration withdrew its Title IX changes that his administration had adapted to force schools to allow boy athletes to compete in girls’ competitive athletics. School districts that refused would lose federal funding for all programs.
Across the nation, parents have been in revolt over the change made to Title IX by the Biden Administration in 2023. Title IX was originally passed in 1972 to ensure that girls had a level playing field in athletics, supported by funding, equipment, and coaching. Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska was one of the bill’s biggest champtions.
But recently, with gender confusion occurring at younger and younger ages, the increasing trend of boys deciding that they are girls and competing against girls has become a national conversation, and was likely a factor in the 2024 election cycle.
“The U.S. Department of Education (Department) is withdrawing the notice of proposed rulemaking entitled “Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Sex in Education Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance: Sex-Related Eligibility Criteria for Male and Female Athletic Teams” published in the Federal Register on April 13, 2023. The proposed rule would have amended the regulations implementing Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX),” the file says.
Rep. Jamie Allard of Eagle River has been at the forefront of the fight for girls in Alaska.
“I’ve been listening to Eagle River residents and Alaskans across the state. A vast majority of Alaskans want our girls to have a fair playing field. Now that the Biden Administration has come along recognizing this, perhaps our ‘girls in sports’ bill can get passed this session,” she said.
Alliance Defending Freedom has also been active on the national level, fighting for girls.
:Women and girls deserve to compete on a level playing field, and the U.S. Department of Education has taken a step in the right direction by withdrawing this proposed change, said Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel and Vice President of Legal Strategy Jonathan Scruggs. “As the withdrawal admitted, many Americans voiced their opposition to the rule change and there are many pending lawsuits related to protecting women’s sports—including a comment submitted by Alliance Defending Freedom and multiple lawsuits brought by ADF to protect women’s sports. The decision to withdraw the proposed sports rule merely reflects the views of the vast majority of Americans who believe that women’s sports should remain reserved for female athletes.”
The fight to protect women’s sports from gender ideology is far from over., Scruggs said.
The Biden administration has attempted to insert gender ideology into Title IX by its general Title IX rule adopted earlier this year, the Biden administration has repeatedly told courts that Title IX alone requires schools to admit men into women’s sports, and activist groups across the country have filed numerous lawsuits to force females to compete against males, he explained.
Why Biden stealthily withdrew his trans regulations is not clear, but he may fear losing at the Supreme Court.
“That is why Alliance Defending Freedom will continue to fight to preserve women’s sports for women and why the U.S. Supreme Court should grant review in two pending cases, B.P.J. v. West Virginia State Board of Education and Hecox v. Little, where lower courts required women to compete against males. So, while today represents a victory, there is still much work left to do to ensure women have fair play and equal opportunity in athletics,” Scruggs said.
How Dare he threaten the American tax payer. Speaking of a Nazi. We are just about rid of one. Going against the wishes of a majority of American tax payers is not very smart.
In the bush, girls and boys sometimes play on the same teams, or they wouldn’t have the numbers to have a team.
