These are individuals who under normal circumstances would never be allowed to enter our country because of their ties to jihadi groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda. Yet the Biden administration not only let them into the country and in many cases facilitated their entry into the country, just like the entry of the Afghan terrorists who committed the terrorist attack here just before Thanksgiving, killing one of our National Guard members and wounding another. That Afghan was brought into the country as a group of over 100,000 Afghans who were brought here during the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Colorado School District 49 is leading a coalition of seven other districts that are challenging the law. The districts filed suit in May against the Colorado Civil Rights Division, the Colorado Civil Rights Commission, the Colorado Attorney general, and the Colorado High School Activities Association. Last week, the Colorado High School Activities association settled with the plaintiffs, a major victory for Girls Sports. The settlement takes the association out of this lawsuit that's ongoing in Colorado federal court, and it gives the eight districts protection from the association.

District 49 Superintendent Peter Hiltz said he made clear rules on biology for his school district after he noticed more incidents of men trying to compete as women around the country.

Professor Catherine Hartman, in her religious studies seminar, opted out of essays or paper examinations, instead choosing to grill each student one on one in 30 minute sessions to grade their comprehension and performance.
