Congressman Clay Higgins of Louisiana has voted in favor of H.R. 28, known as the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act. This legislation aims to prevent biological males from participating in women's sports, ensuring that federal education funding recipients comply with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972.
Title IX, established over five decades ago, was designed to ensure equal educational opportunities for women and girls by prohibiting sex-based discrimination in federally funded education programs or activities. Recently, the Biden Administration introduced a rule amending Title IX, which Congressman Higgins argues imposes "radical gender ideology" on K-12 schools and public universities.
In support of the bill, Congressman Higgins stated, “Men should not compete in women’s sports. This bill affirms Title IX’s original intent and protects women’s sports from the left’s radical gender ideology. We must protect our basic, fundamental American values, including fair play.”
The legislation is available for public viewing.
