Liberal Republican Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-1) joined Rep. Claudia Tenney (NY-24) in sending a letter to National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) President Charlie Baker urging him to change the NCAA’s policies to ban biological men from participating in women’s sports.
In addition to Miller-Meeks and Tenney, the letter was signed by Representatives Jeff Duncan (SC-3), Nick Langworthy (NY-23), Dan Crenshaw (TX-2), Barry Moore (AL-2), Daniel Webster (FL-11), Christopher Smith (NJ-4), Neal Dunn (FL-2), Glenn Grothman (WI-6), Diana Harshbarger (TN-1), Anthony D’Esposito (NY-4), Rich McCormick (GA-6), Jim Banks (IN-3), Randy Weber (TX-14), Max Miller (OH-7), and Greg Steube (FL-17).
While the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) recently approved changing its policy to prohibit biological men from participating in women’s sports, collegiate women’s sports remain under attack. The University of South Carolina women’s basketball coach, Dawn Staley, recently made a statement in which she voiced her support for biological men to play in women’s sports. Not only is this dangerous, but it erodes critical Title IX protections.
