Sen. Rand Paul Rants: Trans Inclusion Will Destroy Girls Athletics February 03 2021 7:48 PM EST
Far-right U.S. Sen. Rand Paul went on a rant against transgender female athletes, saying they’ll “destroy girls’ athletics,” at Wednesday’s confirmation hearing for President Biden’s nominee for secretary of Education, Miguel Cardona.
Cardona is currently commissioner of education in Connecticut, where last year parents of cisgender female athletes filed a lawsuit seeking to bar trans girls from competing on girls’ teams in school sports. Donald Trump’s administration sided with the parents, with the Department of Justice filing a “statement of interest” in the suit, which is still pending, and the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights threatening the federal funding of the districts involved if they continued to allow trans girls on girls’ teams. The Biden administration will undoubtedly take a different stand.
