Six months in, and we are still fighting to implement President Trump’s executive order to keep men out of women’s sports and restore sanity to high school and collegiate athletics. Denying girls a level playing field has consequences. ed.gov/about/news/pre…

🔥Today @DefendingEd is incredibly gratified to learn that a group of Northern Virginia School Districts--many of which were ground zero for the social experimentation of transgender "inclusion" in women's sports, bathrooms, & private spaces--are now facing the music…

"The Biden administration as you know manipulated Title IX's plain text language congressional history and said but sex also means gender identity or 'transgender' status. We know that wasn't case." -Sarah Parshall Perry Texas Values Live Interview with @SarahPPerry of…

The Oregon Department of Education now finds itself in the unenviable position of being investigated by @EDSecMcMahon and the @usedgov 👊
