Utah's Governor Vetoes Ban on Transgender Students Playing Sports | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Utah's governor has vetoed a ban on transgender students playing girls' sports. Legislative leaders who supported the ban plan to override the veto on Friday. Other US states are weighing the impacts of transgender individuals in youth and collegiate athletics. Director of Policy and Government Affairs at the American Principles Project, Jon Schweppe, joins to share his thoughts on Utah's governor vetoing the ban. Lia Thomas, a transgender woman athlete born male, made a splash this week by winning the NCAA women's 500 yard freestyle. However, yesterday Florida Governor Ron DeSantis declared the second place swimmer, Emma Weyant, as the true winner of the event. Schweppe gives us his take on that. Also making headlines this week is President Biden's Supreme Court nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and her confirmation hearings. Schweppe wrote in part "If the craziest woke activists and their billionaire donors are supporting Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. It's a safe bet that she will do everything she can to push the court further to the radical left." Schweppe talks more about that and why he said that. He also explains what else he is following in the news. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
