Biden admin pledges to crack down on schools that don't allow trans athletes in girls' sports
Fox News
The Biden administration issued a "back-to-school" video for transgender students, pledging to crack down on states seeking to ban transgender students from girls’ sports, bathrooms and receiving transition-related care.
"We want you to know that we are looking out for you, and we are here to protect your civil rights," Clarke said in the video. "In some places, people in positions of authority are putting up obstacles that would keep you from playing on the sports field, accessing the bathroom and receiving the supportive and life-saving care you made. We’re here to say that’s wrong and it’s against the law." "Discrimination will not be accepted on our watch," she continued. "Right now were are fighting against laws that tried to ban transgender athletes in West Virginia and deny healthcare for transgender young people in Arkansas, and recently federal courts in both states have blocked those laws from being applied."More Related News
