The Vermont Principal’s Association (VPA) issued a press release Monday announcing a Christian high school is now banned from competing in all VPA-sanctioned activities and tournaments.
The decision comes after Mid Vermont Christian School (MVCS) in February refused to play against a girls basketball team with a transgender player, or biological male, on its squad.
MVCS head Vicky Fogg told the Guardian, “We withdrew from the tournament because we believe playing against an opponent with a biological male jeopardizes the fairness of the game and the safety of our players. Allowing biological males to participate in women’s sports sets a bad precedent for the future of women’s sports in general.”
In its ruling, the VPA explained, “With feedback from membership at large, our Diversity Equity and Inclusion in Activities Committee, and our Activity Standards Committee, The VPA’s Executive Council met today, March 13th, 2023 to discuss the relevant forfeiture. The result was a determination that policies have been violated at the school level, thus there is an immediate determination of ineligibility for Mid-Vermont Christian in VPA-sanctioned activities and tournaments going forward.”
In a letter sent to the school, the VPA wrote, “Specifically, the school’s actions do not meet the expectations of the VPA’s 1st and 2nd policy, Commitment to Racial, Gender-Fair, and Disability Awareness and Policy of Gender Identity, respectively. Thus, Mid-Vermont Christian school is ineligible to participate in VPA activities going forward. The prorated dues will be returned to you via check.”
Many argue MVCS reserves the right to refuse to play against transgender athletes due to the school’s religious beliefs, which could become the center of a religious freedom lawsuit.
There are already eighteen other US states with laws prohibiting transgender athletes from participating in female school sports.
With transgender mania spreading across the United States, more state legislatures will surely be making laws either banning or protecting trans athletes from playing women’s sports.
