BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Republican North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum has vetoed legislation restricting transgender students from participating in public elementary and secondary school sports. The bill prohibits K-12 schools from “knowingly” allowing a student to join an athletic team exclusively for their opposite gender, but does allow girls to play on boys teams. Burgum says there is no evidence of a ”transgender girl attempting to play on a North Dakota girls’ team.” The American Civil Liberties Union called legislation unconstitutional and would open the state up to costly litigation.
