McMahon is going old school — and thank goodness…
Education Secretary Linda McMahon stopped by Hannity Thursday night to chat with guest host Kayleigh McEnany about her warning for Golden State Gov. Gavin Newsom.
McMahon is requesting clarity on Newsom’s position on whether transgender athletes should be allowed to compete on girls’ and women’s sports teams.
McMahon, in a letter sent Thursday to Newsom, said “an overwhelming majority of Americans agree with you” that transgender athletes participating on female sports teams “is unfair and wrong.”
“Many are confused, however, by your office’s silence on the harms of substituting ‘gender identity’ for sex in other areas of the school environment,” she wrote in the letter, a copy of which was obtained by The Hill.
“Parents would appreciate your leadership directing schools to restore sex-based categories in all education programs and activities. School personnel have no business promoting the false notion that kids can choose or change their sex. If a child does exhibit this behavior, the school has a duty to notify parents,” McMahon added, referencing a California law that prevents schoolteachers from being forced to “out” transgender students to their families.
McMahon told McEnany that Newsom needs to take legislative action to secure girls’ rights in sports. McMahon also stressed that parents have a right to know what’s going on with their children in school.
“We’ve put [Newson] on notice … he’s going to need to step up to the plate and doing this,” or risk defunding, McMahon said.
