THE FALCON SCHOOL DISTRICT 49 BOARD THURSDAY MOVED ANOTHER STEP CLOSER TO ADOPTING A NEW POLICY FOR EQUITY IN SPORTS. THE BOARD VOTED 3-2 TO RECOGNIZE JUST 2 SEXES, MALE AND FEMALE, FOR THE PURPOSE OF FAIRNESS IN SPORTS. THE POLICY QUOTE “WOULD BAR STUDENTS FROM ONE BIOLOGICAL SEX FROM PARTICIPATING ON TEAMS OR ENTERING LOCKER ROOM WITH STUDENTS OF THE OTHER SEX.” THE DECISION TO DEFINE THE SEXES FOLLOWS PRESIDENT TRUMPS EXECUTIVE ORDER RECOGNIZING MALE AND FEMALE AS THE ONLY TWO SEXES. D-49 AND OTHER DISTRICTS AROUND THE COUNTRY ALSO FEAR LOSING FEDERAL FUNDING IF THEY DON’T FOLLOW THE PRESIDENT’S MANDATE. A FINAL VOTE ON THE SUBJECT COMES UP NEXT MONTH.
