Vermont Christian school wins court battle over transgender athlete ban: Here’s why it matters for religious freedom
A US federal appeals court has reinstated Vermont’s Mid Vermont Christian School to the state’s sports league after it was expelled for forfeiting a basketball match against a team with a transgender player. The court found that the ban likely violated the school’s religious freedom. The legal case, filed by Alliance Defending Freedom, argues the expulsion breached the school’s First Amendment rights. The ruling allows the school to participate while the legal process continues.
