A Christian school forfeited a girls’ basketball game in the state playoffs because their opponent had a high school boy on the squad. Now the Vermont Principals’ Association has banned the Christian school from future tournaments.
“We withdrew from the tournament because we believe playing against an opponent with a biological male jeopardizes the fairness of the game and the safety of our players. Allowing biological males to participate in women’s sports sets a bad precedent for the future of women’s sports in general,” Fogg stated.
But on Monday the Vermont Principals’ Association (VPA), which controls high school sports in the state, sent the Christian school a letter, which stated: “On March 13, 2023 VPA Executive Council met and determined that Mid-Vermont Christian’s forfeit (2/20/23) and corresponding rationale as shared in the Valley News of 2/25/23, violates VPA Policies which are aligned with Vermont state law. Specifically, the school’s actions do not meet the expectations of the VPA’s 1st and 2nd policy, Commitment to Racial, Gender-Fair, and Disability Awareness and Policy of Gender Identity, respectively. Thus, Mid-Vermont Christian school is ineligible to participate in VPA activities going forward.”
The Vermont girls high school basketball team that forfeited out of a tournament in February after refusing to play against a team with a transgender player has been declared ineligible to participate in future tournaments, the Vermont Principals' Association announced this week. The ban will apply to all sports.
"With feedback from membership at large, our Diversity Equity and Inclusion in Activities Committee, and our Activity Standards Committee, The VPA's Executive Council met today, March 13th, 2023 to discuss the relevant forfeiture," reads a statement from the VPA. "The result was a determination that policies have been violated at the school level, thus there is an immediate determination of ineligibility for Mid-Vermont Christian in VPA sanctioned activities and tournaments going forward."
The punishment stems from Mid Vermont Christian School forfeiting out of the Vermont Division IV girls basketball state tournament
The Vermont Principals’ Association, which oversees school athletics in the state, said Mid-Vermont Christian School in Quechee, Vt. will no longer be eligible to participate in any sports or any other sponsored activities.
Members of the Vermont Principals’ Association executive committee decided at a meeting Monday “that policies have been violated at the school level and thus there is an immediate determination of ineligibility for Mid-Vermont Christian in VPA sanctioned activities and tournaments going forward,” according to a statement posted online.

hopefully it spreads like a contagion, that contagion needs to spread quickly. So that no more games go through. If this happens they will have 'banned' every school in exsistance.

They should all do this, but they won't.
The schools are run by the groomers, the children are brain washed... Many others will simply bow to the nonsense and it won't be long before we have entire teams of boys pretending to be girls just so they can win.

Girls are not allowed to "choose not to compete" against men who claim they are women. Forfeit or failure to participate will get you banned, especially if your a Christian school.
This is where we are at. What now, if a female boxer or mma fighter refuses to get pounded by a guy in a dress, will they be banned?
Insanity.

In my day , if a school's girls team was found to have a biological male , THEY would have been banned for years and heavy fines imposed as well.
What happened ?

They need to hire the nastiest dirtiest legal team they can find that will fight this case to win it and sue anyone and everyone that is even remotely involved in this decision process - if a State Law is involved, challenge the Constitutionality, etc...
