Sen. Tuberville: Senate to consider my bill, the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act

Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., warned in an op-ed for OutKick that Title IX may cease to exist unless the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act passes.

Republican Tommy Tuberville represents Alabama in the United States Senate.

Sadly, over the last four years, the Biden administration has done all it can to dismantle Title IX protections for women in favor of radical gender ideology. President Biden’s Department of Education fully intended to rewrite Title IX, issuing a rule which would force schools to allow men to compete in women’s sports and require them to share private spaces together. All in the name of "gender equity." In the past few days, they rescinded this proposed rule, perhaps realizing how out of touch that stance is with the American public. But their intent was crystal clear.

As a result, what I have long called one of the greatest pieces of legislation to ever pass out of Congress is hanging on by a thread. If the unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. continued to have their way with it, Title IX as we know it would cease to exist. Women’s opportunities to safely participate and benefit from scholastic athletics would greatly diminish—which would not just be a detriment to female student athletes, but to the entire country.
