A school district in dark blue California has voted to ban males from competing in girls’ sports.
The Redlands Unified school board in Southern California’s San Bernardino County voted in favor of banning transgender athletes by a vote of 3-2.
“I am just so grateful that this insanity had not entered into society when I was growing up,” said board member Candy Olson.
“If people think there is no difference between men and women, they are denying science.”
Redlands executive Trisha Keeling took sharp exception to the vote while saying there were no trans athletes in the district. She also accused the trans ban’s proponents of creating a problem where there is none.
“Redlands should not and cannot stand for this form of discrimination,” she said.
