For high school sports, decisions loom: Follow Trump or state law on transgender athletes
Associated PressMINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota’s governing body for high school sports says it will follow state law — not President Donald Trump’s executive order — and continue to allow transgender athletes to compete in prep athletics. “To see the NCAA almost immediately change its rules to comply with Trump‘s order and try and pass it quietly was sad and heartbreaking.” The number of transgender athletes competing at the high school and college level is believed to be small, but the topic became a campaign issue for Trump last year as he declared his intent to “keep men out of women’s sports.” NCAA President Charlie Baker, a former Massachusetts governor, has said there are fewer than 10 transgender athletes competing in sports under his purview. “I had nothing but positive experiences as a trans athlete in Vermont but it’s going to vary state by state.. I’m glad to see that some states have said that they will not follow Trump‘s executive order, but they will follow their own state laws.” The California Interscholastic Federation said it complies with a state law that “permits students to participate in school programs and activities, including athletic teams and competitions, consistent with the student’s gender identity, irrespective of the gender listed on the student’s records,” spokeswoman Rebecca Brutlag said in an email Friday. The Michigan High School Athletic Association is also “waiting for further clarification on potential conflicts” between the order and the state’s civil rights act, spokesman Geoff Kimmerly said in an email.
