Parents Clash at Illinois School Board Meeting After Transgender Biological Boy Beats 7th Grade Girls During Track Meet
Parents and local residents were deeply divided at a Chicago-area school board meeting on Monday, after a 7th-grade “transgender” biological boy beat all the girls at a track meet.
Approximately 100 parents and residents attended the Naperville 203 Community School District Board meeting to speak out in favor of boys playing in girls’ sports and against it.
The two sides of the debate sat divided with signs either for or against it.
Fox News reports:
Those in support of the trans athlete waved the blue, pink and white striped transgender flag, while those advocating for athletes to compete against people of the same biological sex held signs reading “Protect girls sports” and “Defend Title IX,” a federal civil rights law that prohibits sex discrimination in education.
The controversy centered around a biological male who competed in a 7th grade track meet against biological females at the Naper Prairie Conference Meet, with attendees at the meeting sharply divided on the issue.
