After nearly a month, the IHSA has finally responded to House Republicans’ letter requesting how they plan to amend their policy to comply with the President’s order protecting women and girls from having to compete against biological males in sports.
IHSA’s response is baffling and wrong. Fairness and safety in sports should not be a political issue and should not be up for debate. Policies protecting same-sex sports and locker rooms must align with federal policy to ensure the integrity of competition and the well-being of student-athletes.
House Republicans will continue to fight to protect the integrity and safety of all female athletes in Illinois and demand that the IHSA take action.
