A Christian high school forfeited a girls' volleyball match—and the rest of its sporting season—after refusing to play against a rival team's transgender player in state playoffs.'Standing for Biblical truth means more than the outcome of a game,' Stone Ridge Christian High School said in a letter reportedly issued to parents on Friday to explain why they had pulled out of Saturday's event.
'At SRC, we believe God's Word is authoritative and infallible. It is Truth. And as Genesis makes clear, God wonderfully and immutably created each person as male or female. We do not believe sex is changeable and we do not intend to participate in events that send a different message. We also have a duty and responsibility to care for the health and safety of our athletes.
