May I please inquire as to the time remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Moore of North Carolina). The gentlewoman from Oregon has 8 minutes remaining.

Just another reminder that this bill is a blanket ban that treats every age student in every sport the same. I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Quigley).

Reclaiming my time. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Nadler).

I encourage us all to encourage people to go into the teaching profession by recognizing the importance of our system, the public education, and not bashing it.

I am optimistic that we can have a meaningful and bipartisan conversation about the importance of growing and supporting a diverse and dynamic educator workforce.

We have made progress in making every student feel safe and be safe in schools. I once again encourage my colleagues to vote ``no'' on this harmful and extreme joint resolution for the sake of women, the LGBTQI community, and survivors…

In making these important decisions, it is important to rely on experts like child psychiatrists and pediatricians. I yield 2\1/2\ minutes to the gentlewoman from Washington (Ms. Jayapal), my colleague from the Education and the Workforce…

I will note that the Bostock case did not expressly rule, but they did not say it does not apply. The issue is not before them, and that is why several courts have actually extended the ruling from Bostock to other civil rights laws. Madam…
