This is egregious and inexcusable. How disrespectful… a field that is already woefully understaffed and hard to staff…. Already underpaid… and we wonder why people don’t want to work in education. This type of thing just adds fuel to the fire. #phled

Philly schools will continue to allow transgender athletes to participate in sports that match their gender identity
