Rep. Elise Stefanik blasts upstate NY school district for ‘defying’ Trump’s order on trans athletes, DEI

Rep. Elise Stefanik blasted a New York school’s “gender-expansive” policies and warned federal funding could be at stake because they contradicted President Trump’s executive on transgender athletes in girls sports.

The upstate Republican said Saratoga Springs countered Trump’s directive and an order against “diversity, equity and inclusion” programs earlier this month when the board of education passed a resolution pledging support for transgender students to participate in sports “consistent with their gender identity.”

“The Saratoga Springs Board of Education is DEFYING President @realDonaldTrump ’s Executive Order by allowing biological males into girls’ sports and locker rooms,” Stefanik fumed Tuesday.
