Breaking! United States Supreme Court Will Hear Case on “Save Women’s Sports”
Washington D.C. – July 3, 2025: Today, the United States Supreme Court granted certiorari for two cases involving state laws that keep boys of girls’ sports. SCOTUS has agreed to hear Little v. Hecox, a case involving a Save Women’s Sports law in Idaho and West Virginia v. B.P.J., a suit involving a boy who wanted to compete against other middle school girls but could no longer do so once West Virginia passed their Save Women’s Sports Act. Texas Values signed on to an amicus curiae brief for Little v Hecox.
Mary Elizabeth Castle, Director of Government Relations for Texas Values said.
“While we often look to the Supreme Court to grant answers to complicated issues of law, this decision will be an easy one. Men do not belong in women’s sports. Congress made this clear when they went the extra mile on our civil rights laws by passing Title IX to protect women in sports and ensure our fair chance at victory and excellence. We have held the line in Texas in protecting women’s sports in our state because you don’t mess with Texas women and girls. I hope to stand in support of the girls in Idaho and West Virginia as they fight for fair play.”
Texas Values has been the leading organization in Texas that has helped pass the Save Girl’s Sports Act, HB 25, in 2021 and the Save Women’s Sports Act, SB 15, in 2023. Texas Values partnered with several organizations and female athletes like Riley Gaines to protest outside of the NCAA Convention in San Antonio, Texas in 2023. Recently, Texas Values helped lead the efforts to pass the Texas Women’s Bill of Rights/ What is a Woman Bill, HB 229, that was signed into law by Governor Greg Abbott a few weeks ago.
