US President Joe Biden Proposes New Law That Allows Athletic Opportunities For Transgender Students
US President Joe Biden has proposed into law that schools should give equal athletic right to transgender students.
This has opposed policies that categorically ban those students from participating in sports teams consistent with their gender.
The law comes as GOP-led states across the country continue to push anti-trans measures, including bills intended to keep transgender students from playing on sports teams consistent with their gender identity.
While LGBTQ advocates have expressed mixed reactions to the proposed guidance, Education Secretary Miguel Cardona emphasized the importance of equal athletic opportunities for all students and encouraged public comment on the proposed regulation.
