Statement from Renee Carlson on HF 12

“A decade ago, Representative Scott and I fought against the Minnesota State High School League’s outrageous policy erasing girls from girls’ sports.

Together, alongside other legislators and mothers of female athletes across the state, we promised to fight for our daughters. We’ve been fighting ever since. And now, courageous young girls from across the state are joining the fight.

HF 12 is more than a bill. It is the assurance of justice for Minnesota girls. It makes clear that Minnesota laws intended to protect our girls cannot be used against them!

We stand with the 79% of Americans who do not approve of males hijacking opportunities that belong to our girls, making a mockery of their athletic achievements, while compromising their emotional well-being and physical safety.

Advocating for female athletes against aggressive attempts to push them out of their own sports is always the right thing to do. At the heart of this issue is something much deeper than sports. We are fighting a cultural battle regarding the truth about God’s good design for men and women. And we’re fighting on the winning side.”

– Renee Carlson, General Counsel of True North Legal
