The Death of Women’s Sports— “CO-EDing” Title IX!
Biden’s New Title IX rules will devastate JR High and High School Women’s Athletics Across America.
When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. Psalm 34:17
Just when you thought Women’s Sports was finally arriving in America, Joe Biden is doing everything he can to destroy it. The women’s final four was the most-viewed NCAA women’s college basketball semifinals in history—a whopping average of 4.5M viewers. The semifinal with South Carolina and Iowa peaked at 6.6 million, while the LSU and Virginia Tech games peaked at 5 million views. Oklahoma and Texas Softball series sold out! I could go on! But if the Biden administration has its way, new Title IX rules will devastate Women’s Sports nationwide.
The Biden Administration Proposal would deny Federal funds to all Public Schools that ban biological males from playing on female teams. Yes, you read that right! Every public school in the United States of America will be required to allow males that identify as females to play women’s sports in every state in the country. If schools do not comply, they will receive zero federal funds.
The Biden administration announced on Thursday that new proposed Title IX rules would deny all federal funds to schools that ban biological males from playing girls' sports. The proposed ruling would devastate Women's Athletics across America at the Junior High, High School, and Collegiate levels. The proposal comes on the heels of states enacting laws limiting transgender girls from participating in sports that align with the gender they were assigned at birth. Nineteen states nationwide have recently passed laws protecting women's sports; the most recent was in Kansas. Gov. Laura Kelly had previously vetoed HB 2238 – labeled the "The Fairness in Women's Sports Act" – marking the third time in three years she had denied a transgender sports ban passed by the legislature. But last week, Kansas' Republican-controlled super-majority voted in a landslide along party lines – 84-40 in the House and 28-12 in the Senate – to bypass the governor.
As Fox News reported Thursday, the U.S. Department of Education planned to amend Title IX to set out a standard that would "govern a recipient's adoption or application of sex-related criteria that would limit or deny a student's eligibility to participate on a male or female athletic team consistent with their gender identity." The proposed amendment states that "any transgender athlete denied or limited the opportunity to participate in a sport that is consistent with their gender identity must be "substantially related to the achievement of an important educational objective" and "minimize harms to students."
On the surface, we think of how women athletes will be negated at the collegiate level, but can you imagine what it would do to girls' sports in Junior High and High schools across America? This should not surprise Disciples of Jesus; it's just another attempt to sexualize our children and malign our families. But what's shocking is why the Democrats would die on this hill. It's political suicide going into a Presidential election year. But the other demographic it hurts is African American teenage girls. Competing against biological males in basketball, track, and wrestling will affect scholarships and the ability to compete and win!
Undoubtedly, this is the Biden Administrations' response to the 19 states that have passed laws overwhelmingly protecting women's rights and girls' sports. The Biden administration says that if you don't comply with our woke intersectionality policies and allow biological males to play women's sports, we will bankrupt your school. In most circles, this is blackmail, but in 21st Century America, this is straight out of the Carl Marx playbook.
Just ask Riley Gaines, the Women’s Swimming Star, who was violently assaulted by TRANS Activists while giving a speech on women’s sports at San Francisco State University. A Transgender Male wearing a dress punched Riley repeatedly while the Trans Mob chased and harassed her until she was forced to take shelter in a locked room. All because she was speaking about women’s rights. Where’s #METO?
Dads, Moms, Grandpa, Grandma’s Coaches, Administrators, Pastors—Our young ladies deserve better! Speak up for those little girls who have no voice, and most of all, pray for our Nation because this not only affects women’s sports but will drastically affect our country. Our daughters are getting bullied! Remember what Paul told the Church of Corinth? But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 1 Corinthians 1:27
