Christian School Sues Vermont Over Transgender Athlete Dispute

The school alleges religious discrimination after being barred from state tournaments and a tuition program for forfeiting a game due to a transgender player on the opposing team.

Mid Vermont Christian School has filed a federal lawsuit against the Vermont Agency of Education and the Vermont Principals’ Association, alleging religious discrimination.
The lawsuit was filed after the school was barred from state tournaments and a state tuition program for forfeiting a game due to a transgender player on the opposing team.
The school argues that the transgender player jeopardized 'the fairness of the game and the safety of our players.'
The school's exclusion from the tuition program and sports tournaments is said to be causing 'irreparable harm' to its students.
The lawsuit comes amid ongoing debates about the inclusion of transgender athletes in sports.
