This week, every Minnesota Democrat in the legislature voted against a bill that would have protected girls’ sports from biological males competing against them. The Preserving Girls’ Sports Act (HF 12), championed by Republicans, sought to ensure fairness in female athletics—something that used to be common sense. But Democrats, bowing to the radical left, shot it down. (MPR News)
The vote was clear: every single Democrat opposed protecting fairness in girls’ sports. Every Republican supported it. But since it needed at least 1 Democrat vote in both the Minnesota House and Senate, the bill failed. This is the modern Democratic Party—willing to erase decades of progress in women’s athletics to appease activists. (Star Tribune)
Rep. Peggy Scott (R-Andover) put it plainly: “We cannot allow our girls to be vulnerable to losing their spot on the team, being on the podium, or to injury by a male teammate or male competitor,” Scott told lawmakers during afternoon debate on the bill. “That is not safe and it is not fair for our girls. It is our duty to protect female athletes in the state of Minnesota.” But Democrats wouldn’t hear it.
For over a decade, Minnesota’s high school sports league has let boys compete in girls’ sports, and Democrats want to keep it that way. Republicans, meanwhile, vow to keep fighting to restore fairness. With elections coming up, voters will have to decide: Do we stand with female athletes or with the radical left?
Look into health care “sponsorship”, “gifts”, “free leases” etc. where the money goes, the truth lies.
Norris told me he approves of third graders being taught to “respect” pronouns of choice, as non binary and transgender folks walk among us. 🙄
Dear Extra,
You message is misleading and incomplete. First, I agree that we, as parents and guardians, must be an advocate for our children under the age of adulthood, 18-21, but we do not infringe on the freedoms and rights of others to get our children wins and advantages. As for what Jesus would do, as stated numerous times in the Bible;
God made everything in this world and specifically, concerning humans , He just made two sexes, male and female,
Sins of the parents should not be the sins of the children, and
Jesus accepts tax collectors, prostitutes, and all sinners with open arms if they repent their sins and accepts the Triune of God as the only true…
How do we start recall petitions against those that voted against our daughters and granddaughters? Starting in the cities outside of the metro and the the outer suburbs ( Chanhassen, Eden Prairie, etc) and moving toward Minneapolis/St Paul.
I stand with female athletes it is our duty to protect female athletes. No male athletes on female teams!
