Will the ERA be the Phoenix that Rises from the Ashes?

Sparks flew in the Senate on Tuesday as Democrat Senators tried to make a case for raising the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) from the dead. The Senate Judiciary Committee chaired by Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) held a hearing entitled, The Equal Rights Amendment: How Congress Can Recognize Ratification and Enshrine Equality in Our Constitution.

The Equal Rights Amendment – a Two Century Fraud on American Women

The ERA is dead and rightly so. It’s clear the ERA is bad for women. It ERAses women at the expense of creating “equality”. The rights of American women are protected not only by the 14th Amendment’s equal protection guarantee but by Title IX, the Equal Opportunity Act of 1963, the Equal Employment Opportunity Discrimination Act, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, and the Equal Pay Act.

Act Now to Protect Women and Girls

After fifty years of Title IX protecting women’s and girls’ access to education, sports, and privacy, the Biden administration is erasing what it means to be female and turning Title IX on its head.

Are Pants a Constitutional Right?

Charter schools offer the promise of choice in education, but since these schools are funded by taxpayer money, then these schools can never be independent. In North Carolina, the Charter Day School lost a lawsuit (Peltier v. Charter Day School) about their dress code, because the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the school is a “state actor” and requiring girls to wear skirts violates both the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution and Title IX.

Protect Women’s Sports!

The 50th anniversary of Title IX is a perfect time to rally to protect women’s sports teams as a place for biological females to compete against one another and to participate on women’s athletic teams. Opportunities for girls and women to play sports have expanded because of Title IX, and Eagle Forum celebrates the athletic advances that have benefited all women – from the professional athletes to those who just want to play for fun and exercise.

GOP Senators Push “Equality” Agenda

Just six months after several Republican Senators were shamed for putting a provision in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to force women into the selective service, they did it again. Seven Republicans out of the thirteen GOP members on the Senate Armed Services Committee voted in favor of requiring women ages 18-25 to register for the draft.
