Jim Banks (R-IN) said Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to Breitbart News, Banks spoke about the left\u2019s attempts to inject woke gender ideology into classrooms, as well as Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb (R) vetoing a bill that would stop biological boys from competing in sports against biological girls.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThe Florida bill is a really good bill and I strongly applaud Gov. DeSantis and the state legislatures in Florida for passing it,\u201d Banks said of the Parental Rights in Education act, which prohibits classroom discussions on sexual orientation and gender identity for children in kindergarten through third grade. Critics have falsely labeled the measure \u201cDon\u2019t Say Gay\u201d in attempts to grossly mislead the general public.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19137594\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.breitbart.com\/media\/2021\/12\/florida-gov-ron-desantis-r-july21-tampa-gage-skidmore-flickr.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Gov.

Holcomb\u2019s veto of the girls sports bill in Indiana, those moments of weakness, the voters see that and they don\u2019t reward that activity, but they reward backbone and the leadership of governors like DeSantis who don\u2019t back down to the bullies,\u201d Banks said, noting his state\u2019s governor \u201cflip flipped on the issue\u201d and ultimately caved to the bullies.<\/p>\n<p>Holcomb, Banks said, changed his position, as he previously said boys should play boys sports and girls should play girls sports.<\/p>\n<p>And \u201cmost Hoosiers agree with that,\u201d Banks said, noting the governor made a mistake by vetoing a bill that would do what he previously said he supported.<\/p>\n<p>Banks, a father of three girls, added that the bill did not go far enough because it didn\u2019t apply to collegiate sports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re seeing NCAA especially cheapen women\u2019s sports by allowing biological men to compete in women\u2019s sports,\u201d he said, noting that it appears Holcomb caved to pressure from the NCAA, which is headquartered in Indianapolis.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Indiana Republican said he is glad to see that state legislators are vowing to\u00a0return to the statehouse and override his veto in the coming weeks, as most Hoosiers believe \u201cplain and simple that we shouldn\u2019t allow biological boys to play in girls sports.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI strongly disagree with the governor\u2019s veto but I\u2019m glad that the state legislature is going to come back to the statehouse and do the right thing and override it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Voters reward leaders who stand up to woke bullies, particularly those who seek to inject age-inappropriate gender ideology in classrooms and allow biological men to compete in women\u2019s sports, Rep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1411078","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1411078","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1411078"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1411078\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1411078"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1411078"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1411078"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
