The Board of Directors of the Organization changed its rule to the states dislocated with the laws that are considered “harmful” to the LGBTQ population and a rule that did not guarantee that the national anthem is reproduced before each event.
Turner reacted to the recent changes of the US FENCING policy in an exclusive statement to Pak Gazette Digital.
“The Fencing of the United States has fallen into the hands of the antipatriotic tyrants who put a dark policy ahead of promoting sport throughout the country. If playing the national anthem or should never have been in question.
“It makes me wonder if these policies were implemented to punish conservatives and red states. There must be a shake in the leadership of the USA Fencing and an audit of their social networks and online platforms.”

Turner moved away from competing in the Fencing of the United States. After receiving a 12 -month probation for refusing to face the Trans Redmond Sullivan athlete in the Cerez Open in Maryland at the end of March.
But the consequences of the controversy had an impact on the organization and its policies immediately.
USA Fencing announced at the end of April that he is preparing to change his gender eligibility policy. The updated proposal policy ensures that the category of women “is open exclusively to female athletes.” The male category “will be open to all other athletes that are otherwise eligible for competition.”
However, this new policy has not been officially implemented.
The incident that involved Turner also caused an investigation of Title IX by the administration of President Donald Trump and an audience in Congress in May.
The president of the EE. UU., Damien Lehfeldt was roasted by Republican legislators in the Government Efficiency Department (Dux) The “unfair game of the subcommittee: keep men out of women’s sports” audition on May 7.
After the audience, Turner told Pak Gazette Digital that he would dedicate himself to his platform to boost the resignations between the key leadership figures in the United States.
“I’m going to press so that people give up, to be honest. I would like to see some people give up the comments they have made, especially publicly, who are harassing and destined to humiliate women, mothers and daughters worried,” Turner said.
The organization’s policy to prioritize states with pro-LGBTQ laws was a particular point of scrutiny during the hearing of the president of the Doge subcommittee, representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-GAG.
“When selecting sites for their national fencing events, for example, the Board’s policy is to avoid states whose laws and policies on LGBTQ rights and abortion oppose. Use ‘Equality Maps’ to determine which states for the blacklist of its competitions and which ones favor,” Greene said. “This ends up favoring many blue states and damaging many reds. Therefore, it creates politically determined winners and losers, but has absolutely nothing to do with fencing.”
The previous policy of the host site placed several states on the list of “not allowing” were Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee and Texas.
The States on its “Avoid Where Possible” List Included Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Utah, West Virginia, Wyoming, Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Louisiana, Louisiana, Louisiana, Louisian Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia.
The organization now states that it will have events in several of those states during the next year.
“We merge several overlapping documents in a policy that obtains each offer, regardless of the State, on the cost, security and convenience of travel. Using this rubric, the national events of the next season will cover nine states, including Texas, Missouri, Florida, Utah, Ohio, Virginia, Oregon, Tennessee and Nevada,” said a statement to Pak Gazette Digital.
USA FENING has also provided a statement to Pak Gazette Digital that addresses the new hymn policy.
“The anthem has always It has been played at the beginning of each national tournament. The Board simply wrote that the long -standing practice in politics and added that it will also be played at any United States party that occurs during an event, such as Independence Day, which falls during our next summer nationals, “reads the statement.
