Idaho gov signs Defending Women's Sports Act, combating Biden-Harris Title IX revisions on trans policies

Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines tells ‘Fox & Friends Weekend’ that voting for former President Trump is a vote for women’s rights.

Idaho governor Brad Little signed an executive order in his state to oppose the Biden-Harris administration’s final rule for Title IX, seen in documents obtained by Fox News Digital. 

The order is titled the "Defending Women's Sports Act." 

The executive order directs the Idaho State Board of Education to guarantee two things:

1. Work with the State Department of Education to ensure Idaho public schools are following all of Idaho’s laws related to fairness in women’s sports and continue to update all public schools as the legal challenges to the new Title IX rules unfold.

2. Guarantee every female student in Idaho is provided equal opportunity in sports and school to the fullest extent, as guaranteed to them under the original Title IX rules and Idaho law.

"These girls and women, and their families, dedicate their time, passion, and money to improve their skills and compete to win," Little told reporters on the Idaho State Capitol steps in Boise on Wednesday. "They deserve a level playing field. That is why it is so important for us as a state to do all we can to protect and defend women’s sports."
