28 groups call on Biden to support women’s sports and fight Biden’s “illegal” Title IX law.

EXCLUSIVE: More than two dozen organizations are calling on the Biden administration to “drop plans” to allow biological males to compete in women’s sports and share locker rooms.

In 2022, Biden’s Department of Education proposed rules Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 expand the meaning of gender discrimination to include “gender identity”. The ministry will release another set of rules this spring that will specifically address the application of Title IX to transgender athletes participating in women’s sports.

But in a letter to Education Secretary Miguel Cardona last Tuesday, hosted by the Freedom Defense Institute for Policy Studies, a diverse coalition of lawyers, subject matter experts, parents, civil rights groups and former education officials said the Biden administration should enact additional rules. it will be “unfair” to punish athletes.

“The Department does not have the legal authority to make rules that would undermine, rather than fulfill, Title IX requirements by allowing or requiring biological males who identify as females to participate in sex-segregated women’s sports and use intimate spaces and common spaces. female students … we anticipate that the forthcoming adoption of athletics regulations will similarly conflate gender identity with Title IX sex-based protections and degrade those very protections,” the groups wrote in their letter.

They argue that Title IX, which is “limited” to the prohibition of sex discrimination to include “any educational program or activity receiving federal financial assistance,” does not include gender identity.

The letter was signed by the Heritage Foundation, Heritage for America, Center for Ethics and Public Policy, SAVE, Independent Women’s Law Center, Campaign for Parent and Child Rights, Texas Eagle Forum, Family Policy Alliance, No Left Turn in Education, South American Eastern Law Foundation. , American Civil Rights Project, Parents for Education, and others.

“The Department’s view that Title IX covers gender identity is an extremist position not supported by the purpose, text, structure, or legislative history of Title IX,” said Bob Eitel, president of the Freedom Defense Institute. “More importantly, if the administration continues to radically revise Title IX, it will cause serious harm to biological women and girls and cause them to lose positions on sports teams, awards, scholarships and prizes, as well as risk injury in certain forms. sports.”

Cardona said he supports allowing transgender biological males to participate in women’s sports. During the confirmation hearing, he said it was “extremely important” that educators and the school system “respect the rights of all students, including transgender students” and that all students should be able to participate in activities.

The actions of the Biden administration have come under scrutiny from current and former female athletes, who believe they are at a disadvantage when competing against biological males.

Riley Gaines, NCAA swimmer and All-American athlete, has come under fire President Joe Biden defending “propaganda of gender ideology” in an interview with Fox News Digital this month.

Gaines was forced to compete against biological male Leah Thomas in a swimming competition in which they tied for first place, a match she frankly feels is unfair due to biological differences.
