Banks, Braun, and Rokita on one side … and Holcomb on the other. And there’s a question as to which side is the correct one to be on?
Yep; Holcomb is on the wrong side, Joe B! When the rubber hit the road, Holcomb flamed out, being intimidated by, and capitulating to, the woke mob.
Boys are boys and girls are girls, period. Former Attorney General Curtis Hill Jr. wrote an excellent piece addressing this, including compassion for any individuals having trouble identifying themselves:

RIP politically, Eric; you dug your own grave.
Bob. Did you think before you hit “Post Comment”?
Curtis Hill. The same guy sanctioned by the five Republicans on the Indiana Supreme Court for groping women and dropped by the Republican Party because they preferred Todd Rokita.
He’s going to pretend he has credibility when it comes to protecting women? You can’t be serious.
What’s next, Hillary Clinton endorsing the email security software her campaign used in 2016? Carson Wentz promoting the system he uses to help him perform under pressure? Bill Clinton promoting marriage fidelity?
‘Sure did think before posting, Joe. Curtis Hill was a rising start in the Republican Party; that’s why the “good ole’ boys” (of which Holcomb is vying for Presidency) establishment hated him.
May I presume any and all of your deeds may be displayed for public view, Joe B? Curtis Hill made a major mistake by having drinks with Democrat women from “the region.” Nothing good could come of that, but he was excoriated for that indiscretion far beyond what would have happened to one of your precious Democrats who have done far worse things. Let’s start with the Vice President of The United States, for example.
You should read Curtis’ link I posted. You might learn something. Or not…
I read it this morning. It’s grandstanding garbage because it makes you think that what happened with Lia Thomas was imminent in Indiana, and only the actions of our brave legislators can save us from doom. All from a guy who, if I saw walking down the street with my daughter or wife, I’d have us all cross the street to make sure he didn’t get any funny ideas as far as rubbing against them. As Briggs quipped this morning, it’s like The Star publishing a take on banning materials harmful to minors written by Subway Jared.
As Hill ignored, as Holcomb mentioned, as I’ve repeatedly established, and as not one of you has been able to refute, the IHSAA has policies that prevent such a situation that ALREADY WORKED.
But you do-your-own-research Republicans never seem to mention that. Odd, that.
Smart Republicans would have maybe enshrined that IHSAA policy into law, maybe with the consultation of medical professionals to see if medically measured standards like maximal oxygen consumption should also be added. That would be showing the transgendered “compassion, understanding, love, and respect” like Hill professes to do while also ensuring fair competition.
We don’t have smart Republicans. We have Curtis Hill, Todd Rokita, Mike Braun, and the like.
Don’t forget Curtis groped a Republican, too.
“Multiple eyewitnesses provided statements that Hill’s conduct was inappropriate, ‘creepy,’ unwelcome and made many of the women at the party uncomfortable,” the report said. “Men and women from both parties, the political left and political right, provided accounts of what transpired that night.”
Are any of us perfect? Nope. But you get held to a higher standard when you’re the attorney general. Just like how Charlie White had to go for voting illegally, Curtis Hill had to go for getting drunk and handsy. If you don’t like it, don’t run for the office.

Holcomb is not a trumpy, thank god !
I cannot believe that anyone who knows and loves women’s sports, or girls in general, would do this to our women/girls. I think if not my favorite sports figure of all time, Flo Jo, she has to be at the top of anyone’s list who, like myself, saw her here in Indy in 1988 break the world record in both the 200 and 100 meter dashes. So after the direction we are headed; we stack up all women’s record and compare them to all men she won’t be in the top 100 of BOY’S HIGH SCHOOL RECORDS. How sad for that unbelievable talented woman and for all of us who have wives, daughters and friends who love and have compete in sports.
I have a daughter playing high school sports, in a sport in which a transgendered male would dominate. I’ve never worried about it because of the IHSAA policy that prevents the problem.
Does the legislature micromanage other aspects of the IHSAA’s role in regulating fair competition among high school athletes? If not, why this one, especially when they already appear to have policies in place to adequately prevent unfair competition?
The sad part is that it’s all political grandstanding against vulnerable people who can’t fight back … cruelty for cruelty’s sake, once again solving a problem that doesn’t need solving. Governor Holcomb may have his flaws, but his reaction to this issue is not one of them. I’m much more interested in hearing how the General Assembly is going to solve our teacher crisis, fix our roads or improve this state’s falling standard of living. No wonder they’re focusing on these hot-button issues. Keeps us from focusing on their failures.
Who are the vulnerable people in this case? Women? That would be correct–putting us against transgendered women in a MMA bout has routinely delivered horrible results…for the women. Concussions and dislocated jaws. Frankly, those parts of the country that allow transgendered women to compete are just catering to–and I don’t use this word liberally–misogyny.
Fundamentally I want to believe that the IHSAA policy will be good enough. But the NCAA, based in this state, has clearly capitulated long ago.
That said, I don’t think this decision will make or break Holcomb–at a national level, for plenty of other reasons, he’d get trounced.
Just like Pence.
Yet again, uninformed and spreading misinformation.
The Indiana legislature removed college athletes from inclusion on this bill. By extension, they’re perfectly fine with the NCAA setting subpar standards while denying the IHSAA, which did a superior job, a chance to lead on this matter and be an example. Their best course of action would be to take the smack on the nose from Holcomb and sulk away.
The “reporting” here is suspect, at best.
A basic fact: Sec. of State Sullivan will not be on the May primary ballot. For three decades, we’ve selected SOS candidates at party conventions.
This belongs on the opinion page. Very little news here.
