A Washington state school district has taken matters into its own hands after the blue state refused to comply with President Donald Trump’s recent “No Men in Women’s Sports” executive order. The Tumwater School District’s board of directors voted Thursday to ban trans girls from playing for girls’ sports teams. The resolution passed by a vote of 3-1. Board member Jill Adams abstained but addressed Trump’s executive order banning transgender females from participating in girls’ and women’s sports.”A lot of us may disagree with the executive order, but us as school board members are caught between a rock and a hard place,” said Adams. “I support different viewpoints, I support different ways of living but it’s tough.
