Great Salt Bay Community School Board on behalf of Wisconsin mother Tammy Fournier, who filed a lawsuit—which she won—against a school district for violating her rights as a parent: “Parents have a fundamental right and responsibility to direct their children’s upbringing ...

Female athletes spend years—even decades—of their lives training and honing their skills. They know that the difference between victory and defeat can be a single point or a tenth of a second.

As this continues, women’s sports are being destroyed as opportunities and ...

15-year-old West Virginia athlete Adaleia Cross has loved sports all her life. But now, her love has turned to pain. Adaleia has been forced to compete against—and share a locker room with—a male teammate who identifies as a girl.

But don’t educators and students alike have the right to live and ...
