FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STATEMENT FROM COMMITTEE TO PROTECT KIDS-NY ON COURT REMOVAL OF PROPOSITION ONE ON NOVEMBER BALLOT.
May 7, 2024
“The New York State Supreme Court’s ruling that Proposition One — AKA, The Parent Replacement Act — is unconstitutional and must be removed from November’s ballot is a major victory for New York parents, children, and for the integrity of girls and womens sports.
“This case is another example of the Governor and Legislature rushing to pass highly-ideological legislation, without a single public hearing, and then ignoring Constitutional norms, hoping that no one would challenge them. As far as we know, no Constitutional experts were consulted before the Proposition One amendment language was approved.
“Proposition One would have, among other things, granted biological males the right to compete in girls and womens sports in New York State, and it would have required schools to help underage children go through gender transition procedures — while expressly keeping parents in the dark. Sixty-six percent (66%) of New Yorkers recently surveyed by the Siena College Research Institute said they oppose biological males competing in girls and womens sports, and the parents we’ve been working with have been outraged to see their parental rights threatened.
“We are very pleased with today’s constitutional victory. It is a victory for New York parents and children, and for the rule of law.” - Greg Garvey, Executive Director, Coalition to Protect Kids - NY
