Arkansas Gov. Sanders signs EO to protect ‘equal athletic opportunities’ for women, resist Biden Title IX regsOn May 2, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed an executive order directing the state not to implement the Biden administration’s new rules regarding Title IX.This April, the Biden administration announced new changes to Title IX that would include “gender identity” as a protected category, triggering backlash.“It is declared to be the policy of this state that sex is an immutable characteristic of the human body, rooted in biology and the created order,” Sanders’s executive order states. “The government should celebrate, not erase, sex differences by providing proper protections for them.”The executive order ensures that female student athletes would not have to face off against male student athletes: “Female students must not be denied equal athletic opportunities or forced to risk their safety by having biological males placed into female-designated sports leagues.”The executive order also reinforces students’ privacy, guaranteeing that schools would not force them to “shower or undress with members of the opposite sex.”Additionally, the order states that students and faculty at Arkansas schools will not be compelled to use “false pronouns”: “Students and employees of Arkansas’ educational institutions may not be forced to use false pronouns. The right to refuse to speak a lie is guaranteed in the First Amendment. My administration will continue to protect this fundamental right.”Sanders opposed the White House’s redefinition of “sex” to “fit its own absurd political ideology” and notes that “‘Sex’ has long been understood as binary biological characteristics.”
