CONCORD, N.H. — Two students challenging New Hampshire’s ban on transgender athletes on girls’ sports teams has reported President Donald Trump’s executive order “men from women’s sports” after a judge approved the request Wednesday They will fight against protecting it.
According to the Boston-based legal advocate & defender of GLBTQ, the constitutionality of the executive order signed last week has been challenged in court.
“The systematic targeting of transgender people across American institutions is cold, but targeting young people in schools and denying their support and essential opportunities during the most vulnerable years is a It’s particularly cruel.”
Last fall, a federal judge in New Hampshire ruled that teens could challenge the state’s ban while two students could try and play on girls’ school sports teams.
The family of Parker Tirell, 15, and 14-year-old Iristermel, sued in August to overturn the fairness of the Women’s Sports Act, which former Republican Gov. Chris Sununu signed the law in July.
Tyrrell is a 10th grade student playing on the high school soccer team, while Turmell is a 9th grade student planning to try tennis in the spring.
“I love playing football and had a great season last fall,” Tyrrell said in a statement. “I just want to go to school like other kids and continue to play the games I love.”
Last week’s Trump order gives federal agencies a wide latitude and ensures that entities receiving federal funds adhere to Title IX and are consistent with the Trump administration’s views.
New Hampshire’s Glad and the ACLU have asked the judges for permission to add Denis Carter, acting as defendants, for the U.S. Department of Justice, Attorney General Pamela Bondi, the U.S. Department of Education and Denise Carter.
An email has been sent to the White House press for comment.
In a simple order, U.S. District Judge Randya McCafati said the lawyers “find good reasons” to amend the case.
Lawyers say, along with some of Trump’s executive orders and the Jan. 20 executive order, they prohibit federal funds from “promoting gender ideology.” Under Title IX.
The lawyers also say the executive order illegally places the threat of losing federal funds to allow them to play sports.
