Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares just delivered a major victory for common sense and women’s rights. His office found that Roanoke College broke the law by letting a biological male compete on the women’s swim team. This is exactly what happens when woke ideology trumps basic fairness.
The investigation started after a male swimmer switched from the men’s team to the women’s team in 2023. Female swimmers spoke out against this obvious unfairness but were punished for it. The college then retaliated against these brave young women for standing up for their rights.
Miyares found that Roanoke College violated both Virginia’s Human Rights Act and federal Title IX law. The school denied female athletes equal opportunities by forcing them to compete against someone with clear biological advantages. This caused real harm to these hardworking female athletes who deserved better.
The female swimmers who were discriminated against can now seek financial damages from the college. This could be the first time in American history that a school has to pay up for destroying women’s sports. Finally, there might be real consequences for this madness.
Six female swimmers had applied for travel courses just before they went public with their concerns. The timing shows how the school was already planning to punish them for speaking out. This kind of intimidation has no place in American education.
Attorney Bill Bock, who represents the female athletes, called the school’s conduct reprehensible. He said Roanoke allowed a two-year campaign of hostility against these young women. The school claims to support diversity but clearly only accepts one viewpoint.
Roanoke College denied all the allegations and demanded transparency from the attorney general’s office. But the evidence speaks for itself. When schools let biological males dominate women’s sports, they destroy opportunities for real female athletes.
This case sets an important precedent for protecting women’s sports across America. Common sense and science should always win over political correctness. These female swimmers stood up for what’s right, and now they’re getting the justice they deserve.
