"Florida Students Walk Out in Support of Transgender Sports Controversy and Reassigned Principal"

Students at Monarch High School in Florida staged a walkout in protest after their principal and other school officials were reassigned following a transgender student's participation on the girls' volleyball team. The walkout came amid an ongoing investigation into whether the school violated state law by allowing the transgender student to compete. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a law in 2021 barring transgender girls and women from participating in girls' and women's sports teams in public schools. A lawsuit challenging the law was rejected earlier this month. The superintendent of Broward County Public Schools announced that there would be new processes for athlete eligibility going forward.
