The Alaska State Board of Education on Thursday voted to support a ban on transgender athletes playing on girls’ high school teams. The issue will now go to the state attorney general to determine whether it should go into effect.
During a special session on Thursday, the board convened and passed a regulation with a 7–1 vote. The regulation states, “If a separate high school athletics team is established for female students, participation shall be limited to females who were assigned female at birth.”
