WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Clay Higgins (R-LA) voted to pass H.R. 28, the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, which prevents biological males from competing against biological females in women’s sports.
This legislation clarifies that a recipient of federal education funding must adhere to the well-established Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Established 53 years ago, Title IX was intended to provide women and girls with equal education opportunities by preventing discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive federal funding. Last year, the Biden Administration released a rule amending Title IX and imposing radical gender ideology on K-12 schools and public universities.
“Men should not compete in women’s sports,” said Congressman Higgins. “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.”
