So your 16 year old daughter plays softball. Centerfield. She has played a couple of years and always makes the team. She is always in the top 4 in batting average. Usually gets a couple of home runs each season. Looking to parlay her playing into a scholarship. Now John decides he wants to be on the “girls” softball team. He is bigger, stronger and faster then your daughter. He wants to play centerfield. Becuase of his size and speed and arm strenght he is better at this position then your daughter. He makes the team your daughter does not. Good bye scholarship.... Sounds fair to me............

The MSHSL has already broken high school sports in Minnesota. Politically correct, everyone-gets-a-trophy BS. I have zero faith in that group’s ability to make the right decision.

They should start their own associations then. On second thought, they probably won’t because public schools want to be “cutting edge.”

Parochial and private schools might want to start their own associations though.

I predict that a lot of coaches and gym teachers will be worrying about their jobs.

Oh, come now! This is NO different than boys taking Home-Ec or Sewing 101 or girls taking Shop Class or Small Engine Repair.

Oh, wait...NOTHING in Public School these days is designed to give you Life Skills.

Silly Me! ;)

What happened to the days when you could simply laugh at these sodomites and ignore them?

Like the hippies in the 60's, they all got elected to office and expect everybody to emulate them.

So glad my children are out of school while this mob is vandalizing the minds of young people. They missed this common core crap! Yea! I would have been beside myself. Even if you take your children out of the “pubic” school, they are still exposed to public school friends.

The PC imbeciles are busily wrecking America.

Wait until they find out that the Muslims don’t like it.

Conversely, wait till the girls want to play on the high school football teams. The first time one of them gets tackled by a humongous guy from the other team, the tears and lawsuits will begin!

...all over a broken acrylic nail! /sarc

We have some gals playing hs football here in Indiana.
Most are place kickers (from soccer background) but one is a 300 pound lineperson run stopper type.

Good for you! I have a step-niece who also is a place kicker and a darn good one. But if she were tackled she’d be broken into 20 pieces. She weighs a good 95 pounds!

Maybe it’d be the trans guys who would yell bloody murder. LOL!
