Parents Do Battle with NYC to Protect Their Daughters
Plus some thoughts on the Biden Administration's decimation of Title IX
May 21, 2024
Earlier today, I posted a Newsweek article titled, “The White House’s Title IX Bait-and-Switch” on X. The crux of the article is that the Biden Administration is trying to fool everyone into thinking that the April 2024 Title IX rule changes obliterating sex exempt sports because it knows that allowing male athletes to compete on women’s teams is a losing issue for Democrats. My comment was that the article is spot-on because the rule changes redefine sex to include “gender identity” for all Title IX purposes, which presumably include sports.
I think the author is also correct that the Administration’s position is a losing one electorally. Last fall, the US chapter of Women’s Declaration International conducted polling showing that across the political spectrum, four out of five voters nationwide say that the word “women” means adult humans who are biologically female. Eighty-four percent of voters say an all-female high school basketball team should face opponents who are female only and 85 percent say when a female gym member is showering and changing in the women’s locker room, the other users in the locker room should be female only.
This is one of the responses to my post from this morning:
I don’t want to answer that specific question (though I remain a registered Democrat), but I will note that this is precisely the concern that prompted me to publish The Reckoning: How the Democrats and the Left Betrayed Women and Girls last November.
As I have said before, I hear from Democrats and former Democrats every day who tell me that they’ve had it with the Democratic Party. Come on, Democrats in power, get a grip.
