Several community members, and even a couple politicians, spoke during a raucous Palatine-Schaumburg High School District 211 board meeting Wednesday about the alleged acceptance of a transgender student on the Conant High School girls volleyball team.
Two women were ejected from the meeting by police for squabbling in the audience.
Nine speakers were critical of the understood situation, with eight others expressing support for district policy and the student being discussed during the hourlong public comment portion.
Neither the district nor the board have addressed the issue publicly. They did not respond to comments either, but suggested those who had not had a chance to speak could email their thoughts or attend the next board meeting Sept. 18.
The conservative group Citizens 4 Kids Education (C4KE) called on members and supporters to voice their disapproval. Many expressed concerns about injuries female athletes could suffer by being pitted against transgender players.
