Minnesota High School Faces Scrutiny Over Transgender Softball Player's Playoff Performance
- On May 22, Champlin Park High in Minnesota secured a 1-0 victory over the reigning state champions, Rogers High, to advance to the state softball tournament, led by a transgender pitcher who pitched 14 scoreless innings.

- The case highlights a national political divide over transgender athletes in girls’ sports, raises Title IX concerns, and continues to fuel debates about fairness and student rights in athletics.
