Tufts University Cuts Ties with Moulton Office

A controversy has erupted over Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton's comments regarding transgender female athletes competing in school sports, leading to claims that Tufts University would cease facilitating internships in his office. While a source indicated that Tufts' Political Science Department Chair reached out to Moulton's office about this issue, the university has officially denied any limitation on internship opportunities with him. Moulton defended his remarks, emphasizing the need for open discussions on sensitive topics, which he claims are hindered by cancel culture within the Democratic Party. He expressed concern for his daughters' safety in competitive sports against transgender athletes, stating that he believes in civil rights for all but also in fair competition. The incident highlights ongoing tensions among Democrats regarding how to address complex social issues, especially those involving transgender rights. As the situation develops, it remains unclear how these tensions will affect Moulton's standing within the party and among constituents.
