Florida students to walk out in support of staff who flouted DeSantis trans ban | Florida
Hundreds of students in Florida staged a walkout in support of a principal and other staff members who were removed for allegedly violating Governor Ron DeSantis’s law on transgender athletes. The principal along with his assistant and other staff members of Monarch High School in Coconut Creek were removed due to “allegations of improper student participation in sports”. This followed the removal of a transgender athlete from the girls’ volleyball team, which led to the school district’s action. The family of the girl lost a legal challenge earlier this month to the anti-trans Fairness in Women’s Sports Act which bans female student athletes from competing on girls and women’s teams if their birth-assigned gender was male. The staff reassignments have led to protests and walkouts from students and staff at the school.
