Five West Virginia middle school girls who were banned from participating in track and field meets after protesting against a trans athlete have been allowed to compete again by a judge’s ruling. The judge issued a preliminary injunction preventing the school board from penalizing the student-athletes for their speech. The school board claimed the students were not penalized for protesting but for violating a team rule against scratching in an event. West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey supported the plaintiffs and praised the judge’s decision. The students were initially barred from competing after a court ruling blocked the enforcement of the state’s “Save Women’s Sports Act,” which prohibited transgender girls from competing against biological girls in sports. However, a federal appeals court struck down the law, finding it violated Title IX.
