Daily Signal.Monarch High School is allowed to appeal the decision within ten days. Officials with Broward County Public Schools said in a statement that its “investigation into the matter remains ongoing at this time.”The punishment handed down against Monarch is the first instance of a school being penalized for violating the “Fairness in Women’s Sports Act,” primarily aimed at preventing transgender female athletes from competing on women’s sports teams.The law allows “biological females” to compete on “athletic teams or sports designated for males, men, or boys,” as well as in sports that are designated as “co-ed.”“Thanks to [Republican Governor Ron DeSantis], Florida passed legislation to protect girls’ sports, and we will not tolerate any school that violates this law,” Education Commissioner Manny Diaz Jr.
