New England has become a battleground for the fight for women’s sports and against transgenderism. As governors and judges push back on President Trump’s common sense policies, we pray for God’s will to be done!
From Just the News. Four centuries after founding New England, puritans are still squeamish about sex – but it’s now the biological fact, not the procreative act, that bothers them.

The politically blue, conventionally secular region has become ground zero for legal battles over sex versus gender identity amid President Trump’s executive orders, parents’ fights against school districts and transgender students’ fights against New England’s quasi-red redoubt.
In less than a week, a Boston-based federal appeals court upheld school policies that hide students’ gender transitions from parents, two federal agencies opened sex discrimination investigations of Maine that could halt its federal funding, and female athletes sought to intervene in a challenge to New Hampshire law that limits girls’ school sports to females.
The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which lost its only Republican-nominated judge in 2022, ruled against parents Stephen Foote and Marissa Silvestri in their lawsuit alleging Ludlow Public Schools actively lying to them about not socially transitioning their daughter.
While they acknowledge the “fundamental importance of the rights asserted by the Parents to be informed of, and to direct, significant aspects of their child’s life … parental rights are not unlimited,” the three-judge panel wrote.
They may not “invoke the Due Process Clause to create a preferred educational experience for their child in public school” because “our pluralistic society assigns those curricular and administrative decisions to the expertise of school officials, charged with the responsibility of educating children,” the ruling says.
Hiding gender transitions “does not restrict parental rights in a way courts have recognized as a violation of the guarantees of substantive due process.”

The Bay State was an immediate target for the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, which opened a Title IX investigation of the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association – just a day after Trump’s “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” order – for requiring girls’ teams to let in males who “bona fide” identify as girls.
OCR also noted a Massachusetts girls’ basketball team forfeited a game a year ago after an allegedly male player on the opposing team, playing in accordance with the MIAA handbook, reportedly injured three girls in the first half. Video shows one of the injuries. …
OCR followed with investigations of the Minnesota State High School League and the California Interscholastic Federation. Last Thursday it praised the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association and New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association for scrapping their trans participation policies in the days after the Minnesota and California threats.
President Trump’s exchange with Maine Gov. Janet Mills at a Friday White House meeting with governors, after the Maine Principals’ Association flatly refused to follow his order, appears to have prompted DOE and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to launch Title IX investigations. …
“Several hours later,” according to News Center Maine, DOE’s OCR said it was investigating the Maine Department of Education for allegedly letting males compete in girls’ sports and denying “female athletes female-only intimate facilities,” and a Maine school district for letting “at least one male student to compete in girls’ categories.”
USDA joined the Pine Tree State pile-on Saturday, putting the University of Maine and its $100 million in USDA funding in danger due to the “blatant disregard” of the state’s leaders for Trump’s order. The notice of compliance review tells the university Title IX is “broader then just athletics” and warns “additional funding may be in jeopardy.” …

It would have encouraged me far more had the girl’s team refused to play a coed team on moral grounds, and with parental support, not just forfeiting after players were injured. The injuries were proof that they were engaging in unsafe and unwise competition, but anyone with good sense knew that already. Perhaps the wisdom and the nurturing ability and desire to protect the young is missing in several ways at times. Lord, continue to raise up the “mama bear” instinct in both male and female parents and any adults involved in their care and education to keep their ‘cubs’ safe from harm. May both our public and private education institutions be held accountable – through funding or defunding, supporting or withdrawing support, enrolling or not enrolling children, etc. May students themselves have courage to speak up when they recognize that something is unsafe or unwise, and refuse to be endangered.
Father God, please hear our prayers as we declare over these states and in my state of MN, that parental rights are upheld in Jesus Name. We bind up these evil-minded judges and Governors that are defying the ruling from President Trump regarding transgenders playing in sports. We declare your justice and righteousness for our children in this country. We thank you for turning this around back to you. Amen and Amen
If men who want to be girls and hate their genitals so much, why don’t they just have them removed?
Forgive us O Lord for the blatant harm done to our children. May we sacrifice our own personal desires to prioritize our children, and protect them at all costs. For any harm done to them, is done unto YOU. May parents realize children are the apple of Your eye, and children need great care. May parents remove their children from wickedness, and homeschool them with joyful dedication teaching them the Word of God and His plan for them.
In Jesus Name, Amen
Biological boys should no compete in girls’ sports. Biological girls should not compete in boys’ sports. Period!
What red-blooded male with any sense of pride would compete in a girls’ competition? Only one who could either are not able to compete with other boys or one looking for attention.
Lord, please return sensible thought to parents and our young people. Amen
Father, behind all this is an evil spirit. We know who the father of lies is. He is completely exposed in this matter. His minions are exposed. Now, may the Lord rebuke every evil spirit operating in every school in this nation, those evil spirits that say a person can be another sex, that say it’s alright to allow men in women’s locker rooms. Father, make blind eyes to see and hardened, stony hearts to soften. Give school officials and judges disturbing dreams and visions about harming children. May the fear of the Lord fall on them, their eyes be opened so they repent and change their minds and their direction. Lord, in a mighty way, protect our children physically, mentally and spiritually. This is for Your glory, Father. Thank You. Amen.
Father God, In the Name of your dear Son Jesus, take the scales of foolishness and perversion off the eyes of these leaders and the parents who allow this attack on women and young girls. Why aren’t women groups crying out? Lord let Justice runs down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. You made us male and female with God given distinct differences. Amen..
Father, We ask you to restore sanity and dignity to women’s sports in Jesus Name we cast out these demonic forcing humiliating our women in locker rooms and pretending to be women!
