GIRLS IN SPORTS DAY”
Mrs. BLACKBURN (for herself, Mr. Cotton, Mr. Justice, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Tuberville, Mr. Lee, Mrs. Britt, Mr. Lankford, Mrs. Hyde-Smith, Mrs. Moody, Mr. Hoeven, Mr. Ricketts, Mr. Risch, Mr. Daines, Mr. Grassley, Mr. Hagerty, Mr. Crapo, Mr. Budd, Mr. Cramer, Mr. Rounds, Mr. Moreno, Mr. Cornyn, Ms. Graham, Mr. McCormick, Mr. Young, Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Scott of Florida, Mr. Barrasso, Mr. Scott of South Carolina, Mrs. Capito, and Mr. Schmitt) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary:
S. Res. 934
Whereas athletic participation has an important, positive
impact on young girls, improving their physical health, self-
confidence, and discipline;
Whereas women have been responsible for some of the
greatest athletic feats in American history, from the Olympic
games to professional competition;
Whereas female athletes have served as inspirations for
generations of women and girls;
Whereas the enactment of Title IX of the Education
Amendments of 1972 (20 U.S.C. 1681 et seq.) (referred to in
this preamble as “Title IX”) marked a pivotal moment in the
Federal support of girls in sports;
Whereas there are fundamental biological differences
between men and women that put women at a competitive
disadvantage in sports and jeopardize their safety during
competition;
Whereas, in recent years, there has been an increase in the
number of biological men allowed to compete in women's
sports;
Whereas, since the 1980s, biological men have displaced
women and girls from over 2,000 medals they should have
rightfully won;
Whereas, on February 5, 2025, President Donald J. Trump
issued Executive Order 14201 (90 Fed. Reg. 9279), entitled
“Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports,” establishing it as the
policy of the United States to protect fair athletic
opportunities for women and girls and to oppose male
competitive participation in women's sports;
Whereas, on June 30, 2026, in West Virginia v. B.P.J., 146
S. Ct. 2356 (2026), and in Little v. Hecox, 146 S. Ct. 2356
(2026), the Supreme Court of the United States affirmed that
Title IX permits schools to maintain separate athletic teams
for men and women based on biological sex, and upheld State
laws protecting female athletic competition for biological
women and girls;
Whereas it is imperative that women's and girls'
opportunities to compete athletically are protected; and
Whereas October 10th, as represented by the Roman numerals
“XX”, signifies the female XX chromosomes: Now, therefore,
be it
Resolved, That the Senate—
(1) recognizes October 10, 2026, as “American Girls in
Sports Day”;
(2) celebrates the impact that American women and girls
have had on sports culture throughout our history;
(3) recognizes the importance of Title IX in protecting
biological women in sports; and
(4) calls on sports-governing bodies in the United States
and abroad to protect biological women and girls in sports.
