The decision sparks an ongoing debate over Title IX rules.

The Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School girls’ field hockey team decided to forfeit a game rather than face a team that had a member of the opposite sex on it, citing safety concerns. ...

... “We understand that this forfeit will impact our chances for a league championship and possibly playoff eligibility, but we remain hopeful that other schools consider following suit to achieve and promote fair competition for female athletes,” Superintendent Runey said in a statement provided to Boston.com. ...

... The policy allows players and coaches to opt out of competitions if an opposing team includes a member of the opposite sex.

The policy followed an incident where a female player from the field hockey team was injured in a Nov. 2, 2023, playoff match by a male member of the Swampscott field hockey team, according to a statement from June from Christopher Andrade, chairman of the School Committee. ...

If only every opponent would do this.  And then next season refuse to play any school that lets boys play girls' sports.  Ostracized those schools.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Need the other 5-8 teams in their district, conference, whatever, to do the same.

Give that school pariah status.

What's really wierd, is that if this would happen in SE Texas, there'd be altercations.

It's Massachusetts.
Someone's likely to be prosecuted over this decision...

Shun the schools that let boys play on their girls teams.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
