Title IX is Under Attack! It's Time to Save Girls' Sports!

girls-playing-basketball.jpg

 This week marked 48 years since Title IX became law, opening the
door for women and girls to have equal opportunities to compete in
sports. In the time since then there has been a remarkable increase in
female involvement in athletics. Now, two in every five girls plays
sports, ten times the number that did when Title IX went into effect.

In less than 50 years, Title IX has created opportunities for women
and girls offering advantages that go far beyond the accolades of the
playing field.  

Lisa Hoffer is one of those young women. Lisa began playing softball
when she was five and basketball when she was seven. An accomplished
athlete, she received multiple awards throughout high school,
including All Conference Honors in both sports, the ExCEL Award during
her junior year, and  becoming her high school's All Time
Women's Leading Scorer in basketball during her senior year. She
has gone on to play both sports at Bethel University where her
basketball team qualified for the NCAA tournament this year. 

For Lisa, excelling in sports has offered her the opportunity to
mentor young girls. "It teaches you many things when working
with beginners," she observes. "I remembered what it was
like when I was just starting out and that's what makes me want
to give back to the game. I have made so many amazing friendships and
learned many things from many coaches from a variety of backgrounds.
They each brought something new to the table and helped me get ready
for the college level." 

The girls that Lisa mentors deserve continued opportunities, but those
opportunities are currently being threatened. [Read the whole piece by

 Important Supreme Court Rulings Expected Next Week! 

Judge Banging a Gavel in a Courtroom.jpg

Key U.S. Supreme Court decisions are expected early next week on cases
involving abortion regulations and religious freedom.

At issue in June Medical Services LLC v. Russo is whether Louisiana
abortion providers can be required to have admitting privileges to
local hospitals. Our Lady of Guadalupe School v. Morrissey-Berru and
St. James School v. Biel have to do with the scope of the
"ministerial exception," which when applicable, gives
religious institutions the freedom to hire whom they choose without
government interference. Little Sisters of the Poor v. Pennsylvania
concerns whether the Trump administration's religious liberty
exemptions to the abortifacient mandate are constitutional. Finally,
Espinoza v. Montana Department of Revenue examines whether state
Blaine amendments - which prohibit funds going to religious
schools - are constitutional.

As you know, True North Legal, our legal arm, submitted an Amicus
curiae brief for June Medical, which you can read here.

As the results of these important cases are announced, we will let you
know ASAP how they are decided.
