Last week, the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights agreed to investigate a Title IX complaint brought by Alliance Defending Freedom on behalf of three high school female athletes in Connecticut. The trio asked for an investigation into a Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC) policy that allows boys to compete in female athletics based on their perceptions about gender. Selina Soule, a named complainant, says the policy creates unfair competition and forces girls like her to become a spectator in her own sport. Since CIAC instituted its current policy in 2017, two boys have claimed 15 state girls’ track and field championships that were previously held by 10 different female athletes.

A county seal in Pennsylvania that includes a cross does not violate the Constitution’s Establishment Clause, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit ruled Aug 8. Relying on the U.S. Supreme Court’s Bladenburg Cross ruling earlier this summer, the court’s unanimous decision keeps in place Lehigh County's seal based on its historical significance. In place for 75 years, the seal celebrates the county’s history of Christian settlers.

In the pages of USA Today, a father writes in heart-wrenching detail about his teenage daughter’s sudden transition to living as a boy. Aided by high school administrators, school-approved psychologists and more, the father—Jay Keck—writes that his teenage daughter had shown no signs of gender dysphoria, but was diagnosed on the autism spectrum. Even though school officials knew about her autism and they pretended to listen to her parents’ concerns, they secretly guided the girl toward gender transition. Keck pleads with parents, school officials, and community members to refuse to be cowed into silence as kids are rushed into life and body-altering decisions.

A coalition of 75 organizations, including Planned Parenthood, recently released a "blueprint" for advancing "sexual and reproductive health care, rights, and justice." The guidelines include language that support abortions for young girls without parental knowledge or consent. As Ryan Neuhaus of Students for Life of America writes, if these organizations were actually serious about protecting and supporting women, they wouldn't support policies that tear down the vital relationship between a mother and her daughter. Neuhaus suggests that the real motive has nothing to do with female empowerment and everything to do with increasing revenue from abortions.
