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.

From West Side Story...(1961)
My Daddy beats my Mommy,
My Mommy clobbers me,
My Grandpa is a Commie,
My Grandma pushes tea.
My sister wears a mustache,
My brother wears a dress.
Goodness gracious, that’s why I’m a mess!
ALL
We are sick, we are sick,
We are sick, sick, sick,
Like we’re sociologically sick!
ALL Women and Girls need to boycott any and all events and teams that field these shills and ringers.
Just don’t show up ladies, it’s the only way to end this scourge.
That’s really a great idea.
Mid Vermont Christian School remains undefeated, Wins by shutout.
This crap is not going to be stopped at the ballot box. It’s going to take the ammo box.

Easier to say than to do. Rather than big fantasy talk, cut a check for a fighting conservative organization.
Now they have two things in the toilet:
One for punishing the school for living up to their religious beliefs (First Amendment)
And two, for using a taxpayer function as a threat and punishment for further action while violating the first amendment.
When is something like that going to be considered a hate crime?
“When used in a hate crime law, the word “hate” does not mean rage, anger, or general dislike. In this context “hate” means bias against people or groups with specific characteristics that are defined by the law.
At the federal level, hate crime laws include crimes committed on the basis of the victim’s perceived or actual race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or disability.”

The queer bastards that made this decision need to be locked up. Sick bass turd turd rollers.
Screw these orgs with their rules. It is well past time to setup a parallel society.
A team...a school...thinking rationally.Good to see!
It’s only a matter of time, and probably not much of it.
Same for WNBA.
The school MUST sue, and we must fund them to reach the SCOTUS to end male participation in female sports.
A lot of the Christian-based health care sharing plans have compiled a network of contracted physicians who are on board with the Christian world view already. It's a wonderful idea.
