A Montgomery County middle school student, who is transgender, has been accused of assaulting a pre-teen student and subsequently attacking sheriff deputies during a hearing. The incident has sparked protests outside the superintendent's office, with parents and students demanding answers, claiming that officials had prior warnings about the potential for violence. In response to the incident and broader concerns about inclusivity in sports, over 700 individuals, including current and former athletes, academics, and advocacy groups, have written to the NCAA urging the protection of transgender athletes' rights to participate in sports. The student involved was from Pennbrook Middle School and reportedly used a cup in the assault.
