Alaska state school board supports barring transgender female students from participating in girls'
On Thursday, the Alaska State Board of Education approved a resolution that supports barring transgender female students from participating in girls sports. The resolution supported regulations that would prohibit students whose sex at birth wasnt female from participating in girls sports. It also stated that regulation should offer a sports division for students who identify with either sex or gender.
This resolution was not on the published agenda of the board, which met from March 14 to 16 in Juneau. That led to the boards support for the regulation of trans students in sports to surprise some involved in education policy. Sen. Löki Tobin, D-Anchorage, was startled by the news.
Im a little flustered that I didnt know about it, she said.
Members of the board could not be reached for comment.
The resolution seeks to divide sports into two divisions one for students whose sex at birth was female and one for students of either sex or gender.
