(SRN NEWS) – The San Jose State University women’s volleyball team finds itself at the center of a storm around transgenderism as it makes a run toward a conference title. Former President Donald Trump and other politicians have mentioned the team in their campaign speeches. Last week the University of Nevada, Reno, became the fifth team to cancel a game against the Spartans, who have a man on their squad. Players for Nevada said they wouldn’t take the court vowing not to “participate in any match that advances injustice against female athletes”.
A new poll from Rasmussen Reports and the Institute for Faith and Culture predicts that people of faith will play a key role in the presidential election. The survey gauged the likelihood of Christians showing up at the polls this election cycle, addressing concerns over potential voter apathy. It found that 77 percent of Evangelical Christians have already voted or plan to vote. Out of the Evangelicals that won’t cast ballots seven percent say they’re not qualified, and 10 percent say they are unable. The survey also reveals that about three-in-four Evangelicals are praying about the election.
One member of the women’s volleyball team at San Jose State University has signed on to be part of a federal lawsuit against the NCAA challenging the presence of males on female college sports teams. The specific person she cites. A man who is playing on her own squad. Meanwhile, a rally was held over the weekend in support of the five women’s volleyball teams that have refused to play against San Jose State this season. One female athlete told the crowd that her dream of competing in college sports has been “turned upside down.”
Lawmakers and officials in several states are trying to fix the ailing public school system with an injection of scripture. Oklahoma state school Superintendent Ryan Walters has mandated that schools stock classrooms with Bibles. Louisiana passed a law requiring schools to post the 10 Commandments in classrooms — the subject of a federal lawsuit. And the Texas Education Agency has proposed a reading curriculum that includes stories from the Old and New testaments. Meanwhile, Christians are being encouraged to run for local school boards.
