Arizona, Oklahoma, and Kentucky on Thursday joined the ranks of other states whose Republican-led legislatures have passed bills to protect girls' sports from transgender activists.
All three state legislatures have passed the bills on to their governors for approval in the coming days.

The bill differs in that it orders the parents or legal guardians of a student at the beginning of each school year to "Sign an affidavit acknowledging the biological sex of the student at birth."

There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
