<p>A Pennsylvania school district decided this week that student-athletes must play on teams corresponding to their biological sex.</p>
<p>The school board for Central Buck School District just north of Philadelphia <a href="https://6abc.com/central-buck-school-district-transgender-athletes-meeting/14063217/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> a new policy on Tuesday barring trans-identifying students from playing on a team of the opposite sex.</p>
<p>The board passed the policy in a 6-3 vote during a spirited school board meeting where residents spoke both for and against the new policy.</p>
<p>&#8220;The rights of women and girls to play sports — it gives them the opportunity for scholarships and other accolades and it keeps them safe,&#8221; one speaker <a href="https://6abc.com/central-buck-school-district-transgender-athletes-meeting/14063217/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> during the board meeting.</p>
<p>Another speaker argued that trans-identifying children would &#8220;miss out on this important childhood experience&#8221; if they were told they could not play on a team of the opposite sex.</p>
<p>The vote comes just days after Democrats <a href="https://6abc.com/central-bucks-school-district-election-day-2023-democratic-majority-board-elections/14028806/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">flipped</a> the school board in last week&#8217;s elections, but they do not take control until December. The Republican 6-3 majority will become a Democratic 6-3 majority next month.</p>
<p>The Central Buck district has embraced several other conservative policies this year, including barring school staff from using trans-identifying students&#8217; new names and preferred pronouns without parental permission.</p>
<p>The district also directed counselors to separate elementary students by biological sex for classes about puberty. It also <a href="https://whyy.org/articles/central-bucks-school-district-pride-flag-ban-lgbtq-advocacy-policy-321/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">banned</a> Pride flags in classrooms and prohibited teachers from engaging in “advocacy activities.”</p>
<p>In February, dozens of school board directors from across Pennsylvania <a href="https://whyy.org/articles/pa-school-board-directors-condemn-central-bucks-anti-lgbt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed</a> a letter condemning the Central Bucks district for its new policies and accusing the Republican school board majority of “fostering intolerance” and &#8220;target[ing]&#8221; LGBT students “for political purposes.”</p>
<p>The new Democratic majority is reportedly still <a href="https://6abc.com/central-buck-school-district-transgender-athletes-meeting/14063217/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">considering</a> what changes to make when it takes over the Central Bucks school board.</p>
<p>Last month, another school district just west of Central Buck, Perkiomen Valley School District, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/philadelphia-area-school-district-bans-biological-boys-in-girls-bathrooms-after-400-students-walk-out-in-protest">voted</a> during a heated school board meeting that students must use the school bathroom corresponding to their biological sex.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/black-friday-gift-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING GUIDE</a></strong></p>
<p>Perkiomen Valley&#8217;s decision came after <a href="https://delawarevalleyjournal.com/perkiomen-valley-students-stage-walkout-over-transgender-bathroom-vote/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">about 400</a> high school students staged a walkout against biological boys using the girls bathrooms. Students held signs reading, “Respect girls’ rights” and “Stay in your bathroom.”</p>
<p>In Ohio earlier this month, students protested trans-identifying male students in the girls bathrooms as well. Dozens of students <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ohio-students-walk-out-in-protest-of-bathroom-policy-allowing-biological-boys-in-girls-bathrooms#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">walked out</a> of Elida High School just outside Lima, one freshman girl saying there had been &#8220;multiple accounts&#8221; of boys coming in the bathroom and &#8220;bothering the girls.&#8221;</p>
<p>Transgender identities at public schools have become a hot-button issue in recent years.</p>
<p>Parents have <a href="https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-09-02/school-district-settles-100-000-lawsuit-that-claimed-it-supported-secret-transitioning-of-student" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accused</a> their children’s schools of keeping them in the dark about their children’s new gender identities for long periods of time. Some have gone as far as <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/parents-reportedly-suing-school-district-allegedly-secretly-helped-transitioned-child" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suing</a> their school districts.</p>
<p>More than 18,000 schools across the country have rules saying school staff can or should hide a student’s gender identity from parents, according to <a href="https://defendinged.org/investigations/list-of-school-district-transgender-gender-nonconforming-student-policies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a list</a> compiled by Parents Defending Education, a nonprofit that <a href="https://defendinged.org/about/">describes</a> itself as &#8220;a national grassroots organization working to reclaim our schools from activists imposing harmful agendas.&#8221;</p>
<p>Meanwhile, it is more popular than ever for youth to adopt new gender identities. An estimated 300,000 minors aged 13 to 17 <a href="https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/press/transgender-estimate-press-release/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">identified</a> as transgender as of last year.</p>
