Montpelier, VT. (WCAX) – Vermont Education Education employees evaluate what President Trump’s executive order means prohibiting transsexual students – athletes for local schools and federal funding.
The maintenance of men from the Women’s Executive Order of Sport allows federal agencies to retain funding for schools that allow transgender athletes to compete in sports. And like other enforcement orders, this is the excavation of federal rules directly against Vermont’s law.
Gregory Taier formed the Vermonters group for Vermont to return to what he sees as problems in public education, including programs that encourage diversity and transgender athletes who compete in sports. He supports the president’s order, saying that biological men competing in women’s sport is unfair.
“We have seen many people unhappy that they are despondent in their relevant sports and the physics of some of these women across the country,” Taier said.
But others say the order deletes transgender people from public life. Amanda Rodenberg with the LGBTQ advocacy group directly Vermont says that the trans youth involved in sports can encourage self -esteem and a sense of belonging. It describes the new executive order as a slippery slope of a broader discrimination.
“The doubling of these exclusion practices is the creation of schools in which not all young people have the same rights to participate and exist as they are,” Ridaberg said.
Vermont law prevents schools from discriminating students based on race, gender or other identity. The Education Agency interprets that the law as the importance of transgender students should be allowed to participate in sexual activities as a sport in a way that corresponds to their sexual identity. Asked if Vermont would change his policy under the president’s order, Aoe released a statement saying: “The agency will continue to defend all students and their ability to have access to full educational experience, including sports participation.”
Vermont Clark’s General Charity says that he will fight to protect the ability of trans athletes to participate. “I want to assure them that I have my back and put the full power of my office to protect them and take action if necessary,” she said.
It remains to be seen if the Ministry of Education will refuse funding from Vermont schools on this issue.
