The student, a 10th grader who played in 33 matches over the last two seasons, was removed from the team last month after the Broward County School District was notified by an anonymous tipster about her participation. Her removal led hundreds of Monarch students to walk out of class two weeks ago in protest.

Good on those kids for standing up for their classmate. And good on the adults at the school that let her continue playing volleyball for as long as they could. Fuck DeSantis and fuck Florida.

And fuck the anonymous tipster.

Yeah. What a huge piece of shit going out of their way to rip the joy out of a poor kid's hands like that.

I hope that one day somebody fucks them over in the same way, just so they can get a taste of how that feels.

Damn right. Imagine being such a piece of garbage that you choose to spend your free time trying to take a sport away from a 15 year old kid. It's unconscionable.
