Thoughts on the House Banning Boys from Competing with Girls in School Sports.

by Rod Williams, Jan. 14, 2025- Today the House of Representatives passed a bill that would prohibit men from competing in women’s school sports. The bill passed 218-206, mostly along party lines. However, two Democrats voted for the bill and some Democrats instead of voting against it voted "present."  Some Dems adamantly opposed the bill saying Republicans were fixated on the private parts of small children and saying the Republicans in the House were mean and cruel. 

Since the House does not have the filibuster, all it took was a majority of votes cast to pass the bill. It will be interesting to see if the Senate Dems filibuster the bill or allow it to pass. In the Senate, seven Dems would have to join Republicans for the bill to pass.

I am pleased to see this bill pass. I find it ridiculous that men, even men on hormone replacement drugs with fake tits, can compete with girls on the sports field of play. That said however, I have reservations about the Federal government dictating such policy to the states. If California wants to allow boys who think they are girls to play against girls, let them; if Tennessee want to ban it, that should be up to Tennessee. One size does not have to fit all. 

The House was able to pass this bill, which would dictate policy for the whole nation, because the Federal government provides funding for education.  While it provides funding, it does not provide much. Only about 8% of public education funding comes from the Federal government and for that small amount of money, the Federal government dictates education policy and social engineering for the whole nation. According to some reports, nationwide at the N.C.A.A. level there are only ten boys competing against women. In most places in this nation, local schools will never even encounter this issue. 

President Trump's DOGE is looking for cost savings and ways to cut the size of government. One place to start is to abolish the Department of Education and leave education up to the states.
