Florida’s state athletic board fined a high school and put it on probation Tuesday after a transgender student played on the girls volleyball team, a violation of a controversial law enacted by Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Legislature.
The Florida High School Athletic Association fined Monarch High $16,500, ordered the principal and athletic director to attend rules seminars and placed the suburban Fort Lauderdale school on probation for 11 months, meaning further violations could lead to increased punishments. The association also barred the girl from participating in boys sports for 11 months.
The 2021 law, which supporters named “The Fairness in Women’s Sports Act,” bars transgender girls and women from playing on public school teams intended for student athletes identified as girls at birth.
The student, a 10th grader who played in 33 matches over the last two seasons, was removed from the team last month after the Broward County School District was notified by an anonymous tipster about her participation. Her removal led hundreds of Monarch students to walk out of class two weeks ago in protest.
The kids are alright.
Zoomers are vastly more progressive than any previous generation. It’s why republicans have such a laser focus on schools and children media. If they don’t actively do indoctrination the voter base is just going to naturally shift left.
But boy howdy when they go right they go WAY right
There could not be a more stark divide in attitudes, in my workplace, than between the boomers who are on the brink retiring, and the new kids fresh out of college. It gives me some hope for the future.
It’s not black and white, there are outliers, but by and large the boomers are fucking toxic. Good riddance.
Whats a Monarch Student? Is there an emperor one?
Just in training to arch Venture, nothing to see here.
Every good trans girl should follow in the footsteps of Dr. Mrs. The Monarch
