Christian School Banned After Forfeiting Game Against Girls Team with Male Student
ToddStarnes.com ^ | March 14, 2023 | Staff

A Vermont religious school that withdrew its girls’ basketball team from a playoff game because a biological male who identifies as a transgender student was on the roster of the opposing team is now banned from future tournaments.

The Vermont Principals’ Association announced Monday that Mid Vermont Christian School’s decision to forfeit its Feb. 21 game because it believed a trans player “jeopardizes the fairness of the game and the safety of our players” makes it “ineligible” to play in any of its tournaments — for any sport — going forward.

The VPA is the governing body for Vermont school sports and activities for member schools.’

“The VPA again reiterates its ongoing support of transgender student-athletes as not only a part of building an inclusive community for each student to grow and thrive, but also as a clear expectation by Vermont state law(s) in the Agency of Education Best Practices, and in VPA Policy regarding transgender student athletes,” the governing body said in a statement.

MVCS never gave the VPA a reason for pulling out of the game, but the rationale was posted four days later by a New Hampshire outlet, Valley News.

“We believe playing against an opponent with a biological male jeopardizes the fairness of the game and the safety of our players,” MVCS head of school Vicky Fogg wrote to the outlet, the Bennington Banner reported. “Allowing biological males to participate in women’s sports sets a bad precedent for the future of women’s sports in general.”

Forget the gender nonsense, this is a safety issue plain and simple.

Banned for not playing against cheaters.

Next time such teams should in response field their entire boys team as the girl team.

Girls team with male student isn’t a girls team then it’s aka CHEATING woke juice all over the place.

It’s like putting a horse in a dog race and saying oh it just a big boned dog.

Sad that the people doing the right thing are the ones that are punished.

End times...

Be happy and be glad when mocked and persecuted. Great rewards await in heaven.

The people in charge of this gender insanity in athletics cannot be defeated until the “real women by biology,” just refuse to compete with males that are biologically male but just say they are female.

When a 275 lb. real female can play defensive tackle and kick ass, for the Green Bay Packers against the Cowboys or what was once called the Washington Redskins, call me.

Just imagine a swim meet or track meet when all the real women line up and there are biological males competing. The gun goes off. The male swims furiously to a first place finish, the real women do a slow back stoke and admit defeat with a vicious smile on their face. Same said for track and field. This would stop this insanity against women.

Finally a school standing up against this stupid crap. It would have been funny if the Christian school showed up with a 6’8” 30 year old that identified as an 18 year old basketball “person”.

I suspect that all the boys on that team would quit.

Exactly:

After one hit in a football game: "Half of her pancreas and spleen were removed in surgery the next day, and she spent the next four months recovering at the Maryland Shock Trauma Center."

Form an exclusive league with other religious schools and enjoy wholesome sports activities together. Let the Vermont Pedos Association keep up their fire and sulfur rain dance.

They should instead get an all male team and have them wear wigs. When they win first place, it will show how ridiculous the whole thing is.

The Christian school obviously doesn’t belong in a pagan sports league.

Satan’s kingdom is 100% in for homosexuality and transgenderism and none will be higher under the Antichrist worldly realm than those sad, perverted and insane people.

But those 7 years are gonna go by quickly.

Yes they’d wipe the floor with the girl team with one fake girl.

This is insanity.

In my opinion, this “transsexual” movement, if not stopped, will bring on the end of civilization - and not because of corruption of morals or loss of values.

The threat is from a loss of a fundamental common-sense convention that civilization is built around around: the family unit.

Some conventions are so basic that systems simple cannot function without them. Take for example, driving on the right side of the road. Or stopping at red lights, and going at green lights.

There is nothing moral about the choice of the color green or red. There is nothing moral about the right side of the road. They are completely arbitrary, and yet if we can’t all agree on those conventions, no one could ever drive again.

So it is with gender specific sports, bathrooms and biology. If we can’t agree that boys are the ones with penises, and girls are the ones with vaginas, civilization cannot function.

We are seeing just the very early signs of this… because dispute all the lip service paid to this “trans”’issue - 99.9 % of us know in our hearts the difference between a boy and a girl. We may occasionally get forced to call a he “she” just to avoid a scene, but we still know who’s who.

But what happens after a few generations of indoctrination of our children? What happens when the average human being really believes gender is a choice?

I think it will be complete chaos. I’ll be long gone by then and maybe that’s a good thing.

You can chisel marble to look like a man, you can chisel marble to look like a woman, but in the end it is still marble. ‘ Chiseling’ with surgery and hormone therapy does not change a man to a woman.
