We condemn the Supreme Court’s ruling banning transgender youth from sports teams. There is nothing American about banning kids from sports simply for being themselves. Our schools must be safe, accessible spaces for every child.
Sports are not a privilege. They are community. They are belonging. They are a daily signal to a young person that they have a place in this world.
We’re calling on Congress to pass the Equality Act and establish full civil rights protections for LGBTQIA+ Americans. The dignity of every child is non-negotiable. https://naacp.org/…/naacp-stands-transgender-athletes…
