Supreme Court Justices Will Determine the Future of Women’s Sports
|
|
On Tuesday, the United States Supreme Court heard oral arguments in two cases that address an issue that, “until sometime in the past decade, was not only uncontroversial but utterly unquestioned: girls sports are for girls,” according to an amicus brief signed by Eagle Forum. The Court will decide in these cases, West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Hecox v. Little, whether States can protect women’s and girls’ sports from participation by males who “identify” as female. Currently, 27 states have laws protecting athletes based on their biological sex. President Trump began his second term by signing an Executive Order making it the “policy of the United States to oppose male competitive participation in women’s sports more broadly, as a matter of safety, fairness, dignity, and truth.” The question is whether the highest court in the land will agree.
