One of the five middle schoolers who refused to compete against boy in women's shot put gave remarks at a press conference in WV today.
She specifically called out
@ACLU and their disregard for women.
These five girls are heroes.
🚨🚨FIVE middle school female athletes in West Virginia refuse to throw shot put against male, Becky Pepper-Jackson.
This comes just 2 days after the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals blocked the WV law that says you must compete in the category that matches your sex.
It's a sad day when 13-14yr old girls have to be the adults in the room, but I couldn't be more inspired by and proud of these girls.
Enough is enough. The tide is turning! 🌊
