Good morning  from Washington, where President Biden wants to make it easier for men to compete in girls and women’s sports. Americans who disagree have an opportunity to sound off without leaving home, Tyler O’Neil writes. A bill proposed by House Republicans would keep private money out of administration of local elections, Fred Lucas reports. Plus: America’s waning Christianity; the nation’s librarians defend sexually explicit books for teens; giving ex-cons a real second chance; and a lesson about school choice in the Bud Light brouhaha. On this date in 2004,  the World War II Memorial opens in the nation’s capital, recognizing the 16 million Americans who served in that conflict.  Enjoy the weekend.
