NEW YORK – In response to a proposed Manhattan school board resolution that could restrict transgender girls from playing sports aligned with their gender identity, Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine issued the following statement:
“Let me be very clear: No student in District 2–or anywhere–should ever be discriminated against based on their gender identity. This resolution targets vulnerable kids for no other reason than to score ideological points. It is fact not connected to any of the very real educational challenges faced by District 2 schools, students, or families. CEC2 should be uplifting and supporting every child in the district, not singling out the most vulnerable. I urge the CEC to pull this resolution immediately.”
