Your first sentence is wrong; it’s not the transgender student who was banned, but the school who refused to play against the girls’ team that included a biological male. I follow this story because my granddaughter plays basketball on the Mid Vermont team.
Hi Laurel,
Thanks for this. We’re just quoting the news source. Our headline is correct but, yes, the reporter got it wrong. Maybe it was a Freudian slip?
The original story has been corrected and we have corrected our copy to reflect that change.
