News ‘Victory for Girls and Free Speech:’ Supreme Court Sides With Lawmaker Censured for Defending Women’s Sports

By Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell, May 20, 2025. 

The [US] Supreme Court ruled in favor of a Maine lawmaker who was censured for defending women’s sports from male intrusion.

“This Supreme Court decision is a victory for girls and free speech, and a defeat for woke gender advocates who want to deny biological reality,” White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly told The Daily Signal. “It is outrageous that a state legislator was ever censured for speaking the truth – there are only two genders, and it is unfair and unsafe for biological men to compete in women’s sports.”

Maine state Rep. Laurel Libby, a Republican, filed a federal lawsuit against Maine House Speaker Ryan Fecteau for censuring her after she sounded the alarm on a biological male student beating his female competitors at the Maine State Class B Championship in pole vault for girls.

Fecteau asked her to apologize for the post, and after she refused, censured her.
