FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — A Florida public school employee facing firing for allowing her transgender daughter to play girls volleyball in high school is attacking those who excluded her child. Jessica Norton said Tuesday that her daughter was doing well at Monarch High School before an anonymous tipster notified a Broward County school board member that the 16-year-old was playing on the girls volleyball team, in apparent violation of a state law that prohibits students who were born male from participating in girls’ sports. She said a subsequent investigation devastated her daughter’s life. Norton could be fired from her job at Monarch for letting her daughter play.
