Dear ,

Greeting folks! I want to make you aware of this very important issue happening in your state. PLEASE take action andlet your voice be heard! This is a baby step to more of this type of mandated action in the public sector breaking downbiological and logical d ifferences between male and females.

Sincerely,

Brandon MacCartneyAssistant to the President

Action Alert

We wanted to re-send this email to you as a reminder that TODAYthe MinnesotaState High School League will vote on whether to allow biological boys who "feelthey're girls" to compete on girls' sports teams (and vice versa). This will almost

certainly lead to biological boys using the same locker rooms, showers, bathrooms,hotel rooms, etc. as girls (and vice versa).

Read below to find out more about MSHSL's proposed "transgender student athletepolicy."

TODAY IS OUR LAST CHANCE TO HAVE A VOICE, and if we say nothing, theMSHSL will assume that the policy they're creating for our kids is ok.

UPDATE:

This is the week!

This week, on THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4th, the Minnesota State High SchoolLeague (MSHSL) will vote on whether or not to pass their proposed"transgenderstudent athlete policy."

If they insist on following the agenda of a special interest group and pass this policy(over the objection of member schools, parents, and students), here's an importantquestion:

Why have separate teams for boys and girls in the first place? If boys who "self-identify" as girls can compete as girls, and girls who "self identify" as boys cancompete as boys, why have boys' and girls' championships?

If boys can take spots on girls' teams and athletic awards and scholarships reservedfor girls, aren't we back in the age when females were receiving unequal treatment inpublic education systems?

For some further background info, talking points on why MSHSL obviously has abad idea with this policy, and the Christian response: CLICK HERE

Why is this happening?

CLICK HEREunder "what is happening" to find out how MSHSL came to beconsidering a "transgender student athlete policy" in Minnesota.

CLICK HEREfor an awesome infographic that explains everything! CLICK HEREfor a hard-hitting news story that shows where MSHSL is getting

their direction--from the National Federation of State High School Associations.

Here's a few quotes from the story to give you a hint:

Like so many other national organizations...NFHS has become completely overrun byradical leftists and sexual extremists. It has placed political correctness and the adult

LGBT political agenda above the welfare and safety of the boys and girls it purportsto serve.

Writing on behalf of the NFHS, Griffin advises every high school administrator inAmerica that, according to the Federal Office of Civil Rights, Title IXrequires that boyspretending to be girls, and girls pretending to be boys, must be permitted to competeon, and share locker room and showering facilities with, the sports teams of theopposite sex. This is a bald-faced lie.

My suggestion to parents? If your high school allows boys to play on your daughterssports teams, sue, sue, sue. And if, God forbid, one of those boys actually injures yourdaughter, then dont just sue the school sue the NFHS...

A few questions...

Here's a few questions everyone should be asking the MSHSL, AND asking theirchild's school if their school hasn't yet opposed MSHSL's "transgender student athletepolicy":

1. Why even have boys' and girls' sports teams if a policy is passed that saysstudents can play on whatever team's gender they "self-identify" with?

If physical realities about our bodies don't matter in the world of physical sports,why even separate teams?

2. Why do we have different uniforms(think jock straps for young men, sportsbras for young ladies, and swimming uniforms), shoe sizing types andsystems, and separate women's and men's championships if God's designfor our bodies doesn't matter?

3. Even the MSHSL Executive Director admits that creating a "transgenderstudent athlete policy" is not required under any state or federal law, sowhy are they doing it?

4. How is a school going to handle biological boys and biological girlssharing showers, locker rooms, and even hotel rooms?

If this policy passes, why would a boy who "self identifies" as a girl and is allowedto play on the girls' team, not also insist on being given the right to be in thelocker room with his girls' team and then also use the girls' bathroom at schoolthe next day after the game?

How will schools address this safety and privacy issue? And, more importantly,

why should any student (transgender or otherwise) be subjected to this?

5. Won't it be an unfair advantage for a school's girls' team with biologicalmale participants to compete against another school's all-girls team?

6. Aren't girls supposed to be protected from discrimination?Isn't itdiscriminating against girls to allow biological boys to compete for spots on thefemale team, as well as female athletic scholarships and awards?

Have you done something to stop this yet?

When parents, students, and schools are silent, MSHSL will assume that theyare doing what we want!

Help keep families informed!

Our mission is to nurture and defend families by restoring biblical truth in the publicsquare. The MSHSL's proposed "transgender policy" is one form of biblical truth beingintentionally removed from the public square--particulary from the world of Educationwhere our precious children are involved.

We are an entirely donor-supported ministry, and it is an honor for us to help keepfamilies informed about issues that both support and threaten the family and biblicaltruth in our culture today.

Please consider a gift to help us keep families informed.

God bless you!

P.S.Please forward this email to at least one friend.
