Miller | M001211 | marymiller.house.gov | marymiller | https://marymiller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Media Contact: Erin O’Malley | 202.225.5271 erin.omalley@mail.house.gov WASHINGTON - Congresswoman Mary Miller (IL-15) participated in an Education and Labor Committee hearing this morning with the Biden Administration’s Department of Education Secretary Cardona. When asked, Secretary Cardona refused to answer Congresswoman Miller’s questions about the concerning new guidance the Department of Education has provided for schools and teachers. Highlights from Congresswoman Miller’s questioning of the witness are below, and the full video can be viewed here. CONGRESSWOMAN MARY MILLER: "Mr. Secretary, I’m truly shocked at your position on these issues. While I have nothing but sympathy for those who struggle with gender confusion, instead of offering kids help, your department is planning to punish schools that attempt to protect girls’ privacy and support female athletics. Our school administrators and teachers have better things to do than to enforce the Biden administration’s extreme gender ideology. I am disappointed that you are advocating for a few students to feel safe but not advocating for a majority of girls who will not feel safe or comfortable under your rules and guidance. I have 5 daughters that would feel EXTREMELY uncomfortable either on the sports teams or in the locker rooms. I also want to remind you that a former member brought up that 74% of Americans agree that you are on the wrong side of this issue. Also, it is true that if men are allowed to compete in women’s sports, the sports will be dominated by men.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:03:51Z |
