Before the end of this school year, I expect them to walk that new rule back a little bit. The Somali Muslim taxi drivers won’t want their children going to school in those circumstances, and will say so. Unlike with Christian and Jewish families complaining, which may produce results after their kids have already graduated, the Somalis will probably get what they want very quickly with profuse apologies. No, life is not fair, but there you are.
Wow! I’d love to see little queer boy shower with the Somali girls and watch Minneapolis city council deal with the consequences.
I don’t think so as this doesn’t affect Somali girls-I’ve never known any to participate in sports. The uniform requirements kind of prevent that in the first place. This policy applies only to MSHSL sports.
The kicker is that all schools will need to provide locker facilities for any visiting team that has a transgender athlete. The policy doesn’t force the girls to have a male teammate in their locker room, the hosting school just has to have an alternative in place. That is a potential financial disaster for all schools-especially small schools- to accommodate one or two kids over the years. The MSHSL is very metro oriented, outstate coaches are often frustrated with many of their decisions. This is one more horrible decision by the board.
