The University of Pennsylvania has agreed to apologize for allowing notorious male swimmer Lia Thomas to compete on a female swim team. The college has also promised to restore titles to female athletes that were misappropriated by males.

Get involved in state-level prayer with IFA.

Breitbart has the story:

In a press release on Tuesday, the Department of Education announced that the university had entered into a “Resolution Agreement to comply with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX).”

The Department of Education explained that UPenn would “restore to female athletes all individual UPenn Division I swimming records, titles, or similar recognitions which were misappropriated by male athletes allowed to compete in female categories.”

UPenn will also “send a personalized letter of apology to each impacted female swimmer,” and “issue a public statement” to the university’s community explaining that it will “comply with Title IX” and will not be allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports.

UPenn first achieved national infamy years ago when it allowed Lia Thomas, a transgender woman, to join its swim team. IFA covered Thomas, who proceeded to dominate the NCAA Women’s Championships.

UPenn’s latest move follows pressure from the Trump administration, especially the Department of Education (DoEd). Breitbart notes that the DoEd in March paused nearly $200 million in funding to UPenn over its trans policies. President Trump also signed an executive order in February to protect women’s sports.

Intercessors, this is an answer to our prayers. We have prayed about UPenn, Thomas, and the inclusion of men in women’s sports for years. Now the Lord is answering our prayers through the efforts of the Trump administration!
