South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem on Monday announced the formation of a national coalition to “Defend Title IX” to protect the rights of female athletes and keep competition fair.

During a press conference Monday morning, Noem said, “Today we’re announcing that we’re forming a coalition called DefendTitleIXNow.com,“ referring to the federal law that prohibits discrimination based on sex in educational programs and activities. ”The coalition will consist of athletes, leaders, and everybody who cares about protecting women’s sports.”
