(Frankfort, KY) – The Commonwealth Policy Center applauds several executive orders signed by President Trump on his first day in office. His most important action restores male and female as the only two sexes recognized in federal policy.
Other orders end “discriminatory” DEI programs, prohibit government agencies from abridging the free speech of any American citizen, move towards increasing energy protection, declare the southern border a national emergency, and withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreements, which hurt our competitiveness.
“These orders push back against overreaching federal action,” said CPC Executive Director Richard Nelson. “Several of President Trump’s orders reaffirmed First Amendment freedoms, and assured America’s safety, prosperity and independence, which benefit all citizens.”
Altogether, President Donald Trump signed 26 executive orders and rescinded 78 executive orders made by former President Joe Biden.
30 U.S. Senators, including Kentucky’s Rand Paul, have introduced the “Protecting Women and Girls in Sports Act.” The bill would limit Title IX protections to biological females.
The Biden Administration threatened to take funding away from schools that did not allow transgender men into girls’ spaces, including their sports teams. But the Republican bill would put an end to this and limit Title IX gender provisions “recognized based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.”
It would also take funding away from schools that allow trans men into girls’ spaces. Senator Paul has been known as a fiscal conservative and deficit hawk. Now he’s taking the lead on a high profile social issue: protecting girls from the harmful impact of gender ideology.
