On Wednesday, Kansas state senators voted to pass a bill that could restrict public schools from allowing biological males to compete in women\u2019s athletics.<\/p>\n<p>The move came after the Biden administration signed an executive order allowing trans-athletes to compete in sports with their \u201cpreferred gender.\u201d While speaking in an interview Wednesday, Republican state Sen. Molly Baumgardner (R) weighed-in on the issue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we heard in testimony is that there are parents and there are student athletes that want to compete against folks that have that same physical makeup,\u201d explained the Republican lawmaker.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">There is nothing fair about allowing men to participate in women&#8217;s sports.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you Senator <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rkerickson?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@rkerickson<\/a> and Senate Republicans for passing the Fairness in Women&#8217;s Sports Act! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OE3vKAjBJA\">https:\/\/t.co\/OE3vKAjBJA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kansas GOP (@KansasGOP) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KansasGOP\/status\/1372548596533444608?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 18, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The bill will now head to the Republican-controlled House for a vote.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/house-votes-to-renew-violence-against-women-act\/\"> House votes to renew \u2018Violence Against Women Act\u2019<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kansas state Sen.
