A high school girls' basketball team in New England with a male player on it is set to play in the state championship game this weekend.
That's because the Long Trail School girls' basketball team won its Vermont Principals Association Division 4 state semifinal game in overtime on Monday night. The team played Williamstown at Barre Auditorium (a neutral site in Barre, Vermont) on Monday, March 4 and won 43-40 in overtime, according to The Bennington Banner. With the win, the team improved to 21-1 on the season.
A sex education bill approved by the Massachusetts Senate last week "would encourage minors to engage in sexual behaviors which previous generations would have condemned, rightly, as depraved and obscene," the Catholic Action League of Massachusetts said.
The bill, which the state Senate approved on a voice vote on Thursday, February 29, would require all public school districts in Massachusetts that teach sex education to use curriculums approved by the state Department of Secondary and Elementary Education that include presenting scenarios involving anal sex, oral sex, and masturbation to middle school students, as New Boston Post reported last week.
