“Immediate action is in the best interest of the District.”
The Seattle School Board voted unanimously Monday night to authorize legal action against Washington’s newly approved initiative keeping biological males out of girls’ school sports, less than a week after voters approved the measure. The Board has determined that Washington state voters don’t get to decide to allow girls to compete on a fair playing field and will oppose the plan in court.
The November 9 vote followed the board’s earlier unanimous vote in September to oppose Initiative 638 before it went before voters. Washingtonians approved the measure despite opposition from the school board and other elected officials.
DEVELOPING: The Seattle Public Schools Board voted unanimously to legally challenge the will of the voters who elected to protect girls' sports.
Look at the cowards run after the meeting
