COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Republican Gov. Mike DeWine has questioned the need for a legislative ban on transgender girls competing in sports.

The proposal, titled the Save Women’s Sports Act, would require schools and higher education institutions in the state to designate “separate single-sex teams and sports for each sex.”

Wonder what the Democrats have on these governors! Hope the GOP in Ohio pass the ban and have enough votes to make it into a law when DeWine vetos it.

If I had kids in a public school, the LAST thing I would want is to let my governor and/or legislature have ANY control over the way my school district runs.

Here in Louisiana, Gov. Edwards, a democrat, vetoed a bill banning biological males from competing in women sports. He says it discriminates against children. Ironic for a party that loves to abort the children. Hopefully, his veto will be overturned next month in a special session.

The deception in that is that children don’t compete on the sports teams in question, young adults do.

But it is all “for the children” and you are a horrible person to not be “for the children.” The MSM talks about all the “children” walking a thousand miles from Central America, which is impossible. The “children” are young adults.

Is there any question why this character was heartily booed when Trump introduced him at a Ohio rally in 2020?

All my children were home schooled.

But one cannot ignore the prevalent reality both in Canada and the United States. So since the fact of the matter is that so many children are subjected to publicly run prisons/daycare/re-education centers called schools, they ought to be provided at LEAST minimal physical protection from those who deny science and pretend that gender is solely a social construct...because the school of hard knocks can be a brutal way to learn - in restrooms and similar situations.

Ohsaa is not public. It is a private organization.

And yet, that had absolutely ZERO impact on Mike DeWine when HE made this decision...

Timeline: DeWine fall sports decision coming today. Here's how we got here

Also, in Title 33, Chapter 3313 of the Ohio Revised Code, 'sports' and/or 'athletics' are mentioned over 150-times. There is AMPLE Ohio law regulating sports in public (and to some degree private) schools.

The big regulatory foot of state government is omni-prescient in all aspects of public education, including athletics even in Ohio. But, for obvious reasons, this particular issue DeWine wants to leave up to the 'independent' organization that has a Board of Directors staffed entirely of public school teachers, administrators and officials from the State Department of Education. Go figure. https://www.ohsaa.org/about/BOD

There is no such thing as a transgender girl. Those who portray themselves as such are merely chemically altered and surgically disfigured males.

Hopefully this will be the final straw for DeWiner - retire in 2022!
