As Biden administration ends, parent group asks Congress to designate ‘American Girls in Sports Day’

After four years of the The Biden administration is pushing executive policies to allow biological males into female spacesParents Defending Education Action (PDE) is pushing for Congress to address violence against women in athletics and is calling on the NCAA to reverse its transgender policy and declare October 10 “American Girls in Sports Day” .

The measures have been presented as a bill and two resolutions sponsored by Tennessee Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, PDE President Nicole Neily called the Biden administration’s actions regarding girls’ sports over the past four years “appalling.”

“We think about the original intent of Title IX“, she said “It was put in place to protect and ensure that women do not miss out on opportunities as a result of their sex. And now we’re seeing that happen and we’re seeing the sex of girls being weaponized against them. It really turns the whole intent of the law on its head.”

Neily said designating an American Girls in Sports Day would “commemorate all the sacrifices and hard work that has gone into getting to a place of equality only to have it stripped away by the administration of Biden who refuses to respect even the definition of the word ‘woman.'”

despite President Donald Trump returns to the White House this weekNeily said it’s crucial that Congress act now.

“We can’t keep doing this back and forth every four years,” he said. “It’s critical that Congress gets involved in these issues because it codifies it and shuts it down.”

“It turns out that all these administrators, all these bureaucrats, whatever kind of leeway they have to reinterpret something they’re going to do,” he said. “I mean, look at how even Title IX has been weaponized and interpreted by administrative agencies during the past several years Title IX was part of the education amendments, ratified in 1972, and has 37 words, but now we’re seeing Democrats interpret a simple word “sex.” They’re totally rewriting what that means (to include) sexual orientation, gender identity, and that’s not what it’s about.“

Blackburn introduced the measures in the Senate earlier this month.

The bill, which is titled the “Fair Play for Girls Act,” would require the U.S. attorney general to submit an analysis of violence against women in sports to Congress along with policy recommendations to protect young women who compete . The analysis would include impediments to fair and safe competition for biological female athletes, the prevalence of girls losing female athletic opportunities to biological males, and the prevalence of sexual harassment and abuse of women and girls in athletics.

Another resolution introduced by Blackburn would ask the NCAA, which governs intercollegiate sports at more than a thousand universities across the country, to revoke its policy that allows transgender athletes to compete in sports of the opposite sex and comply with a biological sex-based policy in all sports.

Finally, the “American Girls in Sports Day” resolution would recognize October 10 as a day to celebrate the achievements of female athletes.

In addition to the PDE, Blackburn’s measures have also been endorsed by celebrity sports activist Riley Gaines, Caitlyn Jenner, the Independent Women’s Forum and several others.

Neily believes there should be bipartisan support for such measures, which she said simply protect vulnerable girls and recognize their achievements.

“Everyone has seen the videos over the last few years of women in sports who have been physically injured, whether it’s a volleyball being hit in the face (or) a field hockey ball being whipped into someone “, he said.

“There are important biological differences between men and women,” he continued. “I mean, even think about lacrosse. A men’s lacrosse player throws the ball an average of 85 to 95 miles per hour. And men’s lacrosse players wear chest protectors and helmets for that very reason. lacrosse girls throw the ball an average of 45 to 65 miles per hour, and they don’t And so if you have a biological male with this muscle mass, with this bone structure. throw a ball at a girl and it hits her, I mean, there’s a real risk of serious bodily injury and even death.”

All of this, she said, works to limit girls’ opportunities to compete fairly.

“Having known a lot of college athletes throughout my life, the amount of effort it takes to be a D1, D2, D3 athlete, I mean, these are students who have put thousands of hours into their lives. go back to very, very young ages to get to that elite position where they are in colleges and universities,” he explained. “And so to have a spot on a team, to have someone who is considered to be faster, just because of their biology, have a scholarship opportunity taken away from them, is something that I think is a real slap in the face for these girls. they’ve sacrificed so much, they’ve worked so hard.”
