In previous years, people might have missed the irony. But not nowβnot after the meteoric rise of womenβs basketball.
When the WNBA champs visited the White House last week, reporters didnβt cover it out of obligation. They covered it because it was a real story. And President Joe Bidenβs betrayal of girls sports only made it more of one.
The timing of the photo op couldnβt have been more politically inconvenient for the president, whose administration has beenΒ lit up by lawsuitsΒ over the dismantling of the very thing the team was there to celebrateβwomen.
While Biden was applauding the champs for βshowing that the future of womenβs sports is brighter than the Vegas lights,β most people couldnβt help but notice how utterly disingenuous he was being. After all, Biden is the one trying to eradicate 52 years of womenβs progress. Heβs the one insisting biological men make better girls than our daughters. And it was his ideaβnot Congressββto turn Title IX into a manifesto of transgender rights.
Yet, he stood at the podium and with a straight faceΒ declared, βIt matters to girls and women, finally seeing themselves representedβand it matters to all of America.β
βThatβs why,β Biden insisted, βas a nation, we need to support womenβs sports β¦ .β Not just during the championships, heΒ tweeted later. βBut all year-round. Letβs grow womenβs sports and continue inspiring the nation.β
TheΒ reactionΒ was instantaneous. After three years of this administration, most parents, coaches, and teachers understand exactly what this president wants to do to womenβs sportsβand it isnβt growing them. Itβs erasing them.
βHereβs something @POTUS could do to support women,β Alliance Defending Freedomβs Kristen WaggonerΒ fired back: β β¦ Keep men out of womenβs sports.β
The Family Research Councilβs Meg Kilgannon was equally incensed by the presidentβs hypocrisy. βPresident Biden wants to βgrowβ womenβs sports by allowing men who βidentifyβ as women to play. Forcing women to accept men in our locker rooms, sports teams, and even prisons IS NOT supporting women,β she argued. βProtecting womenβs sports and female athletes would be truly inspirational for the nationβs women and girls, and the men who love us.β
Former NCAA All-American Riley Gaines was just as appalled, saying on her βGaines on Girlsβ podcast that the βeasiest way to support womenβs sports is to keep men out of them.β And frankly, the Independent Womenβs Forum pointed out, itβs difficult to believe the βaudacityβ of Bidenβs comments considering that he βjust mandated that girls surrender their sports opportunities to boys.β
Members of Congress, who just took turns grilling Education Secretary Miguel Cardona on this absurd rewrite of Title IX, were appalled that Biden would try to play both sides of this debate based on the harm heβs already done. The rule Bidenβs team released has already triggered a number of lawsuits from more than 20 statesβa fact not lost on the House Education and the Workforce Committee.
After the presidentβs phony hype for girls sports, Republicans tweeted, βThree weeks ago, the Biden admin finalized a radical rewrite of #TitleIX that would ERASE womenβs sports by allowing biological males to compete in female sports. The guy doing the most to harm womenβs sports should sit this one out.β
In one of those hearings, Cardonaβs refusal to even protect his own daughter promptedΒ a passionate responseΒ from Rep. Burgess Owens, R-Utah. When Bidenβs top education official couldnβt answer whether heβd step in if his daughter was uncomfortable dressing in front a biological boy, the dad of girls couldnβt believe his ears.
βIβll say this, Mr. Secretary, before I go on to the next topic,β Owens paused. βWith all due respect, I pray that our country will never, ever have the vision that your policies are driving us toward in terms of manhood. Itβs a vision that teaches our boys that harming girls is no big deal. I pray that we remain a country that produces overwhelmingly massive majorities of men who feel the way I do about my girls.
I will give my life in a heartbeat for my girls. And the blessing I have is that they have no doubts about that. There are millions of men and women across this country that do not have faith, do not have trust in you protecting our girls because of policies you canβt say βyesβ or βnoβ to.
By the way, those are not very hard questions as a father.
He repeated that sentiment with Family Research Council President Tony Perkins on Saturdayβs edition of βThis Week on the Hill.β Asked why he took Cardona to task, Owens replied simply, βI have five girlsβand I grew up in an age where we were taught, very simply, [to be] a very proud young man, have a good legacy, a good name, be happy when itβs all said and done. Learn to love God, country, family. Respect women β¦ particularly motherhood and womanhood. We all know thatβs what makes our country what it isβhow we think of our ladies and what they bring to our culture.β
But right now, Owens pointed out, βWe have an administration that could care less about our ladies.β Equally as frustrating, he said, they donβt care what their transgender agenda is doing to our sons. βYoung men have no idea what it is to respect ladies. They have no idea what it is to not be bullies. And they donβt mind harming ladies in any way they can.β
The reason he put Cardona on the spot, he explained, is that leftists may have a way of dealing with the fallout of this rule in theory, βbut when it comes down to their kids, they think quite differently. They use their common sense. Well, not [being] able to answer commonsense questions about putting his daughter in harmβs way shows the American people cannot trust him. He needs to leave,β Owens insisted, adding:
He needs to do something else. We cannot trust this guy to take care of protecting our kids or educating our kids standing up for our culture.
Itβs all backward, Owens argued. βThe upside is that we now know what theyβre all about. And [the] American people will not stand for it.β
This past Friday, former President Donald Trump illustrated the stark difference between the two menβs policies when heΒ vowedΒ to roll back Bidenβs extreme new Title IX immediately.
βWeβre going to end it on Day One,β he promised.
βDonβt forget, that came down as an executive order. And weβre going to change it. β¦ Tell your people not to worry about it,β he said, calling Bidenβs idea of letting boys in the girlsβ locker rooms βcrazy.β
βItβll be signed on Day One,β Trump repeated. βItβll be terminated.β
