(Christian Headlines) An executive order signed by President Biden on Wednesday will force schools to allow biological boys who identify as girls to compete in girls’ sports, critics of the order say.
At issue is an executive order Biden signed to prevent discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation. Although its impact is wide-reaching – affecting employment, housing and health care – its ramifications on sports and the debate over transgender athletes is one of the most controversial elements.
“Children should be able to learn without worrying about whether they will be denied access to the restroom, the locker room, or school sports,” the executive order says.
In Connecticut, two biological boys who identify as girls won 15 girls’ state track titles.
