High school students across New York plan to participate in a walkout later this month to protest transgender athletes competing in girls’ sports.
The statewide demonstration, set for Oct. 24, is being organized by The Coalition to Protect Kids, a group that has strong backing from the Catholic Church and the New York Republican and Conservative parties.
“It’s not right for boys to compete against girls in sports. It’s a huge disadvantage for girls,” said Hannah Pompeo, a 16-year soccer player at Eden High School near Buffalo, who is participating in the “Walk Off for Fairness Day.”
Millie McCormack, a student dancer at Somers High School in Westchester County said she and her sister, Beatrix, would also be taking part in the protest.
“I don’t think it’s right for men to be in our safe spaces. We worked hard for places on our teams,” she said.
“Boys have physical advantages we don’t have.”
The groups supporting the walkout oppose the controversial Proposition 1 measure on the ballot in the Nov. 5 election. Prop 1 — also called the “Equal Rights Amendment” — would enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution.
New York already has among the strongest abortion rights laws in the nation and critics claim the ballot measure is unnecessary and just a ruse to try to boost Democratic turnout in competitive congressional and state legislative races, as well as for the White House.
The proposal also asks voters whether they support or oppose adding language to the constitution stating that people cannot be denied rights based on their “race, color, ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, creed, religion, or sex, including sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, pregnancy, pregnancy outcomes, reproductive healthcare and autonomy.”

GOOD for those kids!
Thank goodness someone is protesting this. These kids are HERO’s standing up to the backlash from the left.
FINALLY!!
And, wouldn’t it be GLORIOUS if Pres Trump DID take NY???
Trump ... giving NY its moxie, AGAIN!! ❤️ 🗽
And maybe this is the beginning of the revolution.
I hope the turnout is big enough to get some attention.
The NY media will claim it is half or less than what it is.
God bless the kids!!! Watch the school administrations do all they can to stop it.
I was wondering why the transgenders don’t start their own school sports leagues? Then it occurred to me, they already have their own league, it’s the boy’s league. End of story.
Students should take this national. Refuse from now on to participate in any sports with the testosterone bearing trans. Before someone gets hurt or worse.
I can’t wait for the MSM coverage.
Expulsions and possibly even arrests against protestors, while those who assault teachers get in-school suspensions. Similarly, any teacher participating will be fired with the union backing up the school.
Good. It’s about time the good kids walked out. Bad news is the elites have butt boys in the press and in the Education Unions. So they won’t get the fawning praise and attention left wing groups get then they burn down a city... but what they hell - we either stand up to the sexual weirdo bullies or we give up women’s sports.
Ever wonder why some 260 pound man can’t ‘self identify’ as a 140 pound lightweight professional fighter? Because that type of ‘lawlessness’ would kill an adult sport. No one’s gonna put up with that crap. But the bullies can take on high school kids - and wirdo coaches etc. How? They’re bullies - taking on the folks who can’t fight back.
These sixteen-year-olds are far smarter than the alleged adults.
GOOD for those kids!

Turns out the kids have more common sense than the mentally challenged teachers and those in control of the sports programs.
The NY media will claim it is half or less than what it is.

The news media in this country, with very few exceptions, is a threat at least as dangerous to all Americans as our foreign enemies, and probably even more so!
Before someone gets hurt or worse.

This nonsense has already caused multiple injuries, some very serious ones.
If girls are just as good as boys in engineering and programing, why aren’t they as good in sports? If girls are no better than boys in elementary school teaching, why aren’t there more male elementary school teachers? We have inconsistent application of DEI.
with the union backing up the school.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Teachers unions have damn near destroyed qualification guidelines, and many of the kids can see that and behave accordingly, either acting out of control or becoming seriously depressed by the abysmal learning environment. Any parents who have the means should get their kids OUT of public school systems and into charter or private school systems.
What wonderful news. Coming from NY is even better.
