The Mid Vermont Christian School girls basketball team, known as the Eagles, forfeited a state tournament playoff game last week to a team that was going to play a boy who claims to be a girl. “We withdrew from the tournament because we believe playing against an opponent with a biological male jeopardizes the fairness of the game and the safety of our players,” Head of School Vicky Fogg told Fox News Digital. “Allowing biological males to participate in women’s sports sets a bad precedent for the future of women’s sports in general,” she added.

Vermont law not only allows males who claim to be females to play on female teams, it requires all schools participating in interscholastic sports to abide by the “gender identity” of its student athletes. In short, boys who claim to be girls must be allowed to play on girls teams in The Green Mountain State and everyone is required to play along with the lie as if it is truth.

After a successful regular season, the Eagles were scheduled to play the first round of the Division IV state tournament against the Long Trail School Mountain Lions but withdrew after Mid Vermont Christian’s administrators learned a boy was listed on the Mountain Lions’ roster. Support for the Eagles’ decision to stand on principle and forfeit their upcoming game quickly appeared on Twitter.

On Twitter, BethEllen wrote, “I can’t imagine how hard this was for them … wouldn’t it be great if all playoff teams refused to play. So proud of these young women.”

After a string of controversial incidents, the owner-operator of a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Royersford, Penn., recently announced plans to require anyone coming into their store under the age of sixteen to be accompanied by an adult.

“We contemplated long and hard before posting this, but decided it was time,” reads the statement on Facebook. “Often on Saturdays and days when schools are off, we have school-age children visiting the restaurant without their parents. Usually, these children and teens are dropped off for several hours at a local bounce park and groups of them then walk over to our restaurant.”

The statement continues:

“While we love being a community restaurant and serving guests of all ages, some issues need to be addressed.”

Management then listed a litany of issues, including vandalism, rudeness to employees and guests, and the use of profanity.

“To those unaccompanied children and teens that have visited us and acted appropriately, we thank you. But we also apologize. Due to the numerous extreme behaviors of many of your peers, we must make a blanket rule covering anyone under the age of 16.”

Chick-fil-A management then goes on to stress, “Parents, we are not blaming you. Children and teens are learning to navigate the world free from supervision and often push the boundaries. We simply can’t let them push those boundaries anymore at our restaurant.”
