Minnesota high schools may soon be affected by a proposed policy that would allow students to participate in sports based on their gender identity rather than their biological sex.

On Dec. 4, the board of directors of the Minnesota State High School League will vote on the policy.

Yeah, but that’s only if you’re not a stupid person on a school board or in the government.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

This is the tip of the iceberg. Illinois may ratify ERA on December 4 or 5. ERA was ratified in the Illinois Senate last spring. It is presently in the Illinois Legislative Committee.

A citizen’s lobby day to oppose ERA will be in Springfield on December 3 - 8 a.m. - 3 p.m.

I wouldn't blame this on Title IX.

IF any state is nuts enough to go along with this proposal, I would guess the rationalization will be that such cases will be so exceedingly rare that they effectively don't count. And as long as the female imposters keep out of the locker room and don't win too many championships, that may prove to be the case.

That said, this is potentially a serious threat to girls and women's sports, and I would expect the Title IX crowd to be highly skeptical. Title IX is all about separate but equal, not turning girls sports coed.

Hockey? (pic at the link).

First time someone like me boards a girl and she gets seriously hurt, the lawsuits will fly.

Then hockey will become non-contact I guess.

In reality I don’t think I could really board slam a girl.

The absurdity continues.

We already have questionable, perhaps hermaphrodite XXY “women” gaining top spots in women’s track (Caster SEMENya) and basketball (Britney Griner). It should be simple... If you have a Y chromosome, you’re not a woman.

The real losers are the real women who must compete with the semi-men.

If I had a daughter and was living in Minnesota I would be trying frantically to get the heck out of there.

Self selected gender identity for placement on teams. The stars of all the women’s teams will be men who will run roughshod over the women. Like Soviet “female” athletes who had to shave before appearing on the podium at the Olympics.
