Hour 1 -  Good Wednesday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour: The Springfield News-Leader wrote a piece about Springfield protesters showing support for transgender children. Nick reached out to the News-Leader regarding some disinformation within the story. The story states, "SB 42, proposed by Republican Sen. Rick Brattin of Harrisonville, contains measures that would allow school districts to ban transgender girls from youth sports. It is one of many proposed bills this session geared toward restricting the activity of transgender individuals at school and when accessing health care." Nick read through SB 42... Here's what it says, "Upon adoption by a school district and approval of the residents of the school district, no public school shall knowingly allow a student of the male sex who is enrolled in such public school to participate in a school-sponsored athletic team that is exclusively for students of the female sex. Beginning July 1, 2024, the Joint Committee on Education shall study exclusively male or female athletic events and the impact of a policy that prohibits participation in those events by individuals of the opposite sex. By January 1, 2025, the Committee shall report its findings to the General Assembly." Nick asked the News-Leader where in SB 42 does it ban transgender girls from youth sports. He has not heard back. Men dominate nominations in the top categories for this year’s Brits, as the music awards enter their second year without separate prizes for male and female artists.
