The Trump administration has cut funding for the University of Pennsylvania, the same school that had transgender swimmer Lia Thomas on their women’s swim team.

From The Epoch Times. The Trump administration has paused giving $175 million to the University of Pennsylvania, alleging that it has allowed males to compete in female sports in violation of Title IX, the White House announced in a social media post on March 19. …

Pray for your fellow intercessor.

 

The White House said in the post on X that it paused funding to the university over its ā€œpolicies forcing women to compete with men in sports.ā€

A spokesperson for the university told The Epoch Times in a statement that it is ā€œaware of media reports suggesting a suspension of $175 million in federal funding to Penn, but have not yet received any official notification or any details.ā€

The spokesperson said that the Ivy League school ā€œhas always followed NCAA and Ivy League policies regarding student participation on athletic teams. …

The Ivy League school has been in the spotlight over the past few years in light of a transgender swimmer, Lia Thomas, winning a female 500-yard freestyle race in 2022 while on the universityā€™s womenā€™s swim team.

The runner-up, Riley Gaines, who was on the University of Kentuckyā€™s female swimming team, applauded the announcement.

ā€œThree years ago to the day I raced and tied a man at the DI NCAA Championships in the 200 freestyle. Today, the Trump administration paused $175 million in federal funding to University Pennsylvania for this reason. Serendipitous,ā€ she wrote on X. …

Last month, Trump signed an executive order prohibiting federal funding for programs that allow biological males in biological female sports. …

Thank you Father for President Trumps brave action. I pray that churches in America that call themselves followers of Jesus would come out and voice the common sense statement that men do not belong in women’s and girls sports. Open the mouths of church leaders to speak out. In Jesus’ name.

I pray the administration will now bend to the pressure of the culture, but honor God’s Word. He created man and women. There are differences in strength and its okay, deal with it. Lets encourage our young men and women to live to their potential, as God has created them.
