Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona dodged questions from Rep. Andrew Clyde on Tuesday, when the Georgia Republican asked the Biden administration what it means to be a "Woman." The tense back-and-forth took place during a House Appropriations Committee hearing where Cardona defended proposed changes to Title IX rules that would make it illegal for schools to ban transgender athletes from playing on sports teams consistent with their gender identity, "Can you please tell me or can you please define for me what is a woman?" Clyde asked Cardona.
The Biden administration official deflected the question, only answering that the focus of the Department of Education "Is to provide equal access to students including students who are LGBTQ - access free from discrimination." Unsatisfied with Cardona's response, Cylde persisted with his line of questioning, once again asking the education secretary, "What's the definition of a woman?" "I think that's almost secondary to the important role that I have as secretary of education," Cardona said.
