New ED Rule Would Steamroll Five Decades of Progress for Women's Equality

Press Release

"The Left's blatant and deliberate attempts to redefine our sons' and daughters' identities by questioning biology itself has already done significant harm to our children and society, and it will do even more harm if this NPRM is finalized."

"While you have argued that this NPRM represents a sensible middle ground, it in fact imposes an extreme position which defies the will of the people. This rule will upend the laws 21 states have on the books protecting women's sports. … The question is clear: does the Department believes women's athletic opportunities should be protected or not? This proposed rule gives us a clear answer: this administration has no interest in protecting women's sports."

"Since Title IX was enacted 50 years ago, female participation in sports has increased 1,057 percent at the high school level and 614 percent at the postsecondary level. Title IX was designed to combat discrimination against women, and it has succeeded. The proposed rule will force women's sports to accept the participation of men, cruelly using a groundbreaking antidiscrimination statute to discriminate against the very people it was designed to protect."
