Former NCAA All-American swimmer Riley Gaines headlined a rally in Whitefish on Monday blasting looming changes to federal regulations that prohibit sex-based discrimination at public schools.
Gaines and other former collegiate athletes and coaches who spoke at the Take Back Title IX event scolded the Biden administration for its plans to revise the landmark sex discrimination law to extend protections to LGBTQ+ students.
The changes, set to go into effect Aug. 1, clarify that the federal law prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Montana is among two dozen Republican-led states challenging the revised law as unconstitutional.
