Goodwin was a coach for the Feb. 21 game against Long Trail High School in a Division IV playoff game when the coach decided not to play because, as he said at the time, the male playing for Long Trail ” jeopardizes the fairness of the game and the safety of our player.”

The Vermont Principals’ Association banned Mid-Vermont from all athletic events after Goodwin’s forfeiture, claiming that the school violated state laws that allow male-born kids to play on any school girls’ team. …

Goodwin is defending his move, though, telling Fox News, “After discussions with the administration and our players and parents, we decided that instead of going against our religious beliefs that … there are differences between male and female, we are created differently, we decided to forfeit that game and withdraw from the tournament.” …

The school is suing the state for the ban and, in its lawsuit, says, “The State is entitled to its own views, but it is not entitled, nor is it constitutional, to force private, religious schools across the state to follow that orthodoxy as a condition to participating in Vermont’s tuitioning program and the State’s athletic association.” …
