The U.S. Department of Education on Thursday released its long-awai.... The proposed rule would prohibit districts and states from categorically banning transgender students' participation on athletic teams aligning with their gender identities. Doing so would be considered sex discrimination.
"Such bans fail to account for differences among students across grade and education levels," said the Education Department in a Thursday press release. "They also fail to account for different levels of competition — including no-cut teams that let all students participate — and different types of sports."
