Welcome to Breakpoint, daily look at an ever-changing culture through the lens of unchanging truth.

The Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street.

The girls' volleyball team at a rural Vermont high school was banned from their own locker room.

After several players reported feeling uncomfortable, with a male teammate who identifies as transgender,

joining them in the locker room and watching them change clothes.

When the girls said that they'd prefer to not share their private space with this boy,

they were told that by law, they had to.

The school also suspended one of the female volleyball players for allegedly harassing her male teammate by calling him a dude.

The girls' father, a soccer coach at the school, was suspended without pay for the rest of the season,

because he called the student a boy on Facebook.

After the father and daughter filed a lawsuit on free speech grounds, the school walked back its disciplinary action against the girl,

but her father remained suspended, and her team remained barred from the locker room.

Well, this kind of story isn't as rare as it used to be, thanks to the Biden administration's creative new interpretation of Title IX,

which was meant to protect female athletes.

Many school officials now believe that they have to allow boys to use girls' restrooms and locker rooms if they ask to do so.

As a result, kids are being put into uncomfortable and even dangerous situations.

For example, two girls were allegedly raped at a school in Loudoun County, Virginia last year,

when a boy who said he was a girl was granted access to the girl's restroom.

Scripture teaches us that Christians are called not just to follow Jesus in abstract ways,

but in the specific times and in the specific places to which we've been called.

How we respond to our own cultural moments will look different from person to person depending on how God has gifted us,

and how the Holy Spirit empowers us.
