By now, you’ve probably seen the news: Boise State forfeited a volleyball match to protect the safety of their female athletes.
For those who haven’t heard, San Jose State allows a biological male who identifies as female to play on the women’s volleyball team. A girls’ volleyball match between the two universities had been scheduled to take place last Saturday.
BSU administrators made the right call. As you’d imagine, physiological differences between biological males and females not only create an unfair playing field but also pose safety risks for female athletes.
BSU has had many problems over the last few years—but they made the right decision here, and they need to hear encouragement to continue standing strong.
Will you take one minute to send a message thanking BSU President Marlene Tromp and Athletics Director Jeramiah Dickey for protecting their female athletes?
Blaine Conzatti and Kent DelHousaye spoke to Liberty Counsel’s Vice President of Legal Affairs, Daniel Schmid, in our latest episode of the Idaho Family Report podcast. According to Schmid:
It’s quite scary when the arm of the government comes in, especially for people who swore an oath to defend the Constitution, to then turn that same Constitution on them. . . forcing [conservative Christians] to resign, and then removing them from command for nothing other than religious speech. That ought to scare everybody in Idaho.
The Governor of Idaho is the Commander in Chief of the Idaho National Guard. He has the authority and the duty to reverse this “No Christians in Command” policy and to say knock this off.
Use our Action Center to send a message to Gov. Brad Little, asking him to reinstate the infantry officer and send a clear message that Christian officers will not be silenced for their religious beliefs.
