Congresswoman Miller Introduces First Bill in Congress

Congresswoman Mary Miller Monday introduced the Safety and Opportunity for Girls Act. This is her first bill as a Member of Congress.

This bill would clarify that nothing in Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 can be interpreted to give the Biden Administration the authority to prohibit schools from maintaining sex-segregated bathrooms, locker, rooms, sports teams, and academic programs. The bill adds a clear definition of sex to Title IX to clarify that “sex” means biological sex, not gender identity.

Congresswoman Miller says that she is sponsoring the Safety and Opportunity for Girls Act to protect spaces for women and girls in school.

“Democrats continue to push radical gender ideology on our children, and we must draw the line to protect women and girls,” Miller said. “On his first day in office, President Joe Biden signed an Executive Order to interpret Title IX as requiring schools to allow access to sex-segregated spaces and activities based on gender identity. But Title IX was created to enhance opportunities for women, not threaten their safety. This is why I’m sponsoring the Safety and Opportunity for Girls Act. I want make it clear that the definition of sex in Title IX means biological sex, not gender identity. My goal is to protect spaces like bathrooms, locker rooms, and sports teams for women like my five daughters, and so many others across the country.”

The bill is currently supported by Heritage Action for America, Eagle Forum, and Concerned Women for America.
