MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — A Vermont religious school that withdrew its girls’ basketball team from a playoff game because a transgender student was playing on the opposing team won’t be able to participate in future tournaments, the Vermont Principals’ Association announced Monday.
Mid Vermont Christian School, in White River Junction, Vermont, forfeited the Feb. 21 game, saying that it believed that the transgender player “jeopardizes the fairness of the game and the safety of our players.”
The executive council of the principals’ association, which is the governing body for Vermont school sports and activities for member schools, ruled that the school had violated policies and is ineligible to participate in future tournaments that it sanctions. The move applies to all sports.
“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 association said in a statement.

Finally. A team with a coach that can think straight.
Good. They need to join a different league where the inmates aren’t running the asylum.
It’s well past the time for Christians and conservatives to form their own shadow economy and associations. My church has already opened its own “Doc in a Box” type clinic in anticipation of being shut out of access to medicine.
Pushback in 3...2...1...(maybe. it’s VT after all)
Agree - they should start an “outlaw” girls only league! By outlaw, I mean outside the system so they can bar boys.
hopefully more will boycott
“It’s well past the time for Christians and conservatives to form their own shadow economy and associations.”
I’m in.
Good for you Mid Vermont Christian School.
Such a beautiful state, such a bunch of doctrinaire old commies/hippies…
This crap is not going to be stopped at the ballot box. It’s going to take the ammo box.
The Left has used the excuse “I don’t feel safe” to get their way for years. Now a conservative uses it and their answer is “you’re in violation of state law”.
I want to see how the NCAA and the media will handle it when some seven-foot man claims he’s a woman and demands to play for an NCAA women’s team.
Yep- have ‘prostate’ and ‘non-prostate’ leagues.
”Dude?”
Basketball is a contact sport.
You can’t put a hormonal male pitted against a female on the court. Someone’s going to get hurt. They’re making the right decision here to make a stand against this brutalist stupidity.
Agree with my mental illness or else!
So Vermont has essentially banned the existence of girls’ sports.
Vermont is anti-woman/anti-girl.
“This crap is not going to be stopped at the ballot box. It’s going to take the ammo box.”
I think you are right, IF it is going to be stopped.
Thats only Vermont other states will invite them to play ...
Y’all c’mon down to Tennessee where men are men and we know what a woman is ...
