The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Rory Gray regarding a notice of appeal ADF attorneys filed Monday with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit in Female Athletes United v. Ellison, a lawsuit challenging a discriminatory Minnesota athletics policy that violates the equal treatment and athletic opportunities for girls guaranteed by Title IX in federal law:
“Minnesota officials shouldn’t be putting males ahead of females, telling girls their hard work may never be enough to win, and that they don’t deserve fairness and safety. By sacrificing protection for female athletes, Minnesota fails to offer girls equal treatment and opportunity, violating Title IX’s provisions. We are advocating for true equality in sports and for that reason are appealing to the 8th Circuit to halt Minnesota’s discriminatory policy.”
