Virginia Judge: Transgender Girl Can Play Middle School Tennis
Description
A federal judge in Virginia has ordered that a transgender middle school student can try out and play on the girls tennis team after the school board told the unnamed student she would not be able to be on the team. Last week's ruling comes as several courts are expected in the coming months to hear arguments on the Biden administration’s expansion of Title IX, the federal statute prohibiting sex discrimination in educational institutions. The Hanover County School Board in Hanover, Virginia, had previously denied the student a place on the tennis team, citing its policy on transgender students. The federal judge overturned the policy while litigation is ongoing, arguing that the school board should have created an exception for the student based on federal law.
