STATEMENT: PDE Action Supports Rep. Mary Miller’s Safety and Opportunity for Girls Act

“Congress must step in to stomp out the radical gender ideology policies that are putting at risk the safety and well being of our school children and our college students in many parts of the country.

Congresswoman Mary Miller’s ‘Safety and Opportunity for Girls Act’ is the ideal tool to accomplish this. It provides a scientific definition of the term “sex” under Title IX, which prohibits discrimination by sex in education programs, clearly establishing that it means a child’s biological sex at birth. It also ensures that biological boys and men in federally funded academic institutions can’t compete in female sports and don’t have access to girls’ bathrooms and private spaces.

This is a measure of basic common sense that should be able to garner wide bi-partisan support. Any member opposing it has a lot of explaining to do to his or her constituents.”
