WASHINGTON—Idaho Congressman Mike Simpson cosponsored H.R. 3917 – the Protection of Women in Sports at Military Academies Act. This legislation would prohibit the participation of males in athletic programs or activities at the military service academies that are designated for women or girls. This legislation is sponsored by Rep. Dusty Johnson (R-SD).

“An overwhelming majority of Americans agree that men do not belong in women's sports,” said Rep. Simpson. “Upholding the promise of Title IX means protecting women's sports at every level of competition. Our nation's military academies provide students with an excellent opportunity to pursue higher education, compete in athletics, and serve our country. These institutions should not focus on the woke, out-of-touch policies of the previous administration. I am proud to cosponsor this legislation and stand up for the next generation of female military leaders.”

U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) has introduced companion legislation in the Senate.
