Gender labels should be removed from youth soccer leagues, Ann Arbor parents say
ANN ARBOR, MI - Kathleen Davis was surprised and disappointed to learn Ann Arbor Public Schools Rec & Ed department segregated teams by gender for children in grades K-5 when she signed her child up to play youth soccer last fall. Davis’ kindergartener, who identifies as non-binary, had been welcomed and supported by their teachers, but had their identity “negated” by having the youth soccer teams segregated by gender, Davis said, causing her to start a petition to make all the teams gender-inclusive. It was signed by more than 130 current and former AAPS parents.
