| Subject: Cool: Tennessee bill to require students to play sports by gender assigned at birth Sun Jan 05, 2020 12:20 am | |
| A new bill was proposed to the Tennessee state legislature in early December that would require students of public elementary and secondary schools to play sports based on their gender assigned at birth.
Republican State Representative Bruce Griffey proposed House Bill 1572—self-dubbed as the Girls Athletic Protection Act—which would require “elementary and secondary schools that receive public funding to ensure that student athletes participate in school-sanctioned sports based on the student’s biological sex as indicated on certificate issued at time of birth,” under threat of a civil penalty of no more than $10,000, as well as requiring a public official to leave their office and become ineligible to run for public school offices for five years if they were to take “certain actions contrary to the intent of the law.” It would also prohibit the school from receiving public funds or competing in statewide sports competitions.
