The End of Title IX May Be the End of Women's Sports | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The Biden Administration is set to overhaul Title IX. Since 1972, the 50 year-old measure has provided opportunities for women in education and sports. However, the White House says it's time for change, and they want to use Title IX to extend protections to the LGBT community. The Biden Administration's new rules would allow people to self-identify as female and compete in women's athletics. Republicans, however, say that will hurt women, especially in sports. Senator Tommy Tuberville says, "I've seen first-hand the success of what's happened with Title IX. Maybe one of the best kept secrets up here that's happened in this building." Senator Tuberville adds there has been a 600% increase in scholarships for women's sports since Title IX became law in 1972. The Biden Administration's new rules, however, would allow people to self-identify as female and compete as such. Republicans insist that ignoring biological differences between male and female athletes will be the end of women's sports. Capitol Hill Correspondent Erik Rosales reports.
